Jaycob B also deserves a special commendation, achieving top grades in 7 subjects, and will also continue his studies in our Sixth form.

Whilst these students have achieved particularly notable results, we are proud of all of our fantastic young people and the effort and dedication they have applied to achieve their successes. These results are a testament to their talents and perseverance, not only in the last two years but throughout their journey so far at King James I Academy. Many of them will now continue their journey with us, studying A-Level and other Level 3 qualifications in Sixth form; we wish them the best of luck for their future and we know they will go on to secure even greater successes.
