Nearly half of the GCSE results at King Edward VII and Queen Mary School were at the top level, with 47% of the grades awarded being at A* and A. Thirteen pupils achieved the clean sweep of A*s and A grades in every subject., including twins Joy and Carol Edwards, who picked up 16 A*s and 5 A grades between them. The results in English and Science were particularly pleasing: there was a 93% pass rate from A* to C in English and 97% pass rate from A* to C in the Science subjects.

The pass rate at A level was 100% , excluding General Studies, and over 60% of the results were at A*, A and B grades. Seven students achieved four or more A grades and the vast majority gained places at their first choice university. Destinations include Oxford University, the London School of Economics, Bristol, Edinburgh, Leeds, Manchester, Sheffield and Newcastle Universities. However, the staff were delighted by the achievements of students across the ability range.
