What a great result for all Kingsdale parents that have been holding breath for last couple of weeks ! Thanks to Skegness for constant checking the antiquated Kingsdale web site & onwards & upwards for a great school and all of our kids that are part of this journey.
That Kingsdale release is very coy on the overall 5+EM figure (still currently the main one used). It says 'approximately 2 out of 3 students' reached this benchmark. Looking at the eng and maths figures both at 70%, I would guess 60-65% overall. They should be clearer with this.

Tomk ; agreed

But for us with kid's at KD this is a great result & a base that the school can build on after the the last few difficult years. No school is perfect but when your own kids are part of the process it is a leap of faith & one you want to succeed ?

There is a whole thread about this. Lots of ambitious parents who can't afford private schools are shipping their kids out to Kent grammars.

I am really happy that the Kingsdale results show significant improvement over 2012 and am also pleased that information has been given in a more or less timely fashion, though I agree it could be even more precise. Given the extremely low attainment last year, anything over 50% or is to be applauded, imo, and suggests the school is getting back on track academically.

Kingsdale should be proud of its results. I would imagine they would be closer to 65% A* - C inc English and Maths than 60 (as 60 would be in 3 in 5 not 2 out of 3)


I'm particularly delighted with the science


And a third of year 10s already at 5 A*-C inc Eng and Maths is intriguing

    • Excellent, I hope so!
    • It's certainly a risky strategy, as well as ticking everyone off, the gazunderer risks losing the property and also their costs incurred during the process e.g. legal & survey. It's hard to mitigate against but I always think that if you're desperate to sell, don't ever convey that  to your estate agent, as that info more than likely gets passed on to potential buyers. You should be doing that regardless of whether gazundering is happening or not, as it will affect the offers you receive... That's correct. Some agents have policies in place to 'discourage' gazundering and gazumping, but ultimately it comes down to the morals of the buyer...
    • The owner may not be on this forum. Maybe you should let the police know you have it, in case the owner has reported it as stolen? Also, are you sure the owner hadn't just left it there temporarily while going into their house, or putting their bike away or getting it out? What street was it in?
    • For these places to be good they have to be mega efficient: high volume high speed like the one in Camberwell next to Stormbird.  If you can't hit that sort of tipping point you end up having to cut corners and you enter a sort of death spiral.  The one at the south end of Lordship Lane near Joseph's is fairly hopeless.
