Raft of accolades for The King’s School

June 13, 2023 M&D team 0 Comments Macclesfield, The King’s School

A range of accolades and awards have been given to The King’s School in Macclesfield, reflecting both the school’s academic and sporting achievements.

The co-ed independent school is the first school in the country to be awarded a Gold Award for the quality of pupil learning – the culmination of eight years’ work with ‘The Learning Organisation’ to embed teaching methods that enhance pupils’ reasoning, resilience and questioning skills.
Deputy Head, Mr Griffiths, said: “Our ethos is to prepare young people for life beyond their formal education. The aim is to improve the pupils’ independent learning, ensuring they think and discover for themselves, and therefore develop skills that will serve them throughout the rest of their lives.”

The School’s academic results have seen a significant year-on-year improvement and this was recognised nationally when King’s was listed in The Sunday Times Top 10 Independent Schools in the North West for academic results. The Parent Power Guide 2023 put King’s in 7th position, amongst the very best performing schools in the region. In 2022, a remarkable 52% of all A-Level grades were A* / A.

The School has also achieved its highest ever ranking in a national league table for sport. The School Sport Magazine tables saw King’s feature in the Top 25 schools across the UK for achievements across all sporting disciplines.
The ranking includes both independent and state schools and is based on performance in national competitions in all sports. King’s current U13 boys’ cricket team are the reigning National Champions, a title not won by a Cheshire school for over 40 years. Significant successes have also been notched up at regional and national in netball, girls’ hockey, boys’ hockey, rugby and trampolining.

For families considering joining the King’s School in Macclesfield, places are currently available for the Year 5 Taster Day on Friday 30 June and there is an Open Day on Saturday 7 October.
