Achievement
2023 GCSE Results - Key Stage 4
Students at The Sittingbourne School have a lot to celebrate today after receiving a range of excellent GCSE and BTEC results. Across the subjects, students have achieved highly and are now well placed to continue their successful learning journeys.
All of the TSS staff are so proud of every single Year 11 for what they have achieved this year.
We are incredibly proud of the achievements of our fantastic students in their exams this summer. A lot of students and their families were worried about what would happen to their results as exam grades nationally were being brought back in line with pre pandemic levels. We’re pleased to say that their resilience, hard work and determination have paid off and their results are among the best the school has ever had. Every student now has invaluable qualifications that open doors for the rest of their life. None of this would have been possible without the hard work and support of all the TSS teachers and support staff who have gone above and beyond to make sure no student missed out. I would also like to thank all of our students' parents and carers too for their support.

KS5 A Level and BTEC Results 2023
The Sittingbourne School Sixth Form students are celebrating today after receiving their A level and BTEC results. Across a wide range of subjects, students have achieved highly, with success stories throughout the year group.
“We are incredibly proud of the achievements of our sixth formers in their exams this summer. Whilst a lot of students and their families were worried about what would happen to their results as exam grades nationally were being brought back in line with pre pandemic levels, we’re pleased to say that their resilience, hard work and determination have paid off and their results are among the best the school has ever had. Every student now has invaluable qualifications that will open doors for them for the rest of their life. In particular, we are very pleased that nearly every student who applied to university got the necessary grades to join their first choice university and course.
As always, none of this would have been possible without the hard work and support of all the TSS teachers and support staff who work incredibly hard to make sure every child reaches their fullest potential. I would also like to thank all of our students' parents and carers too for their support.”
