On Thursday 29th November 2012 the Kingswood Year 7 squad of Carl Curtis, Corey Ironmonger, Mark Webster, Finlay Gray, Jake McMichael, Jai Sawyer, Henry McAuley, Aaron Callaghan, Ben Cross and Alex Campbell travelled to Montsaye School in Rothwell for the final of the District 7-a-side competition.
A fantastic sportshall athletics event took place at Kingswood on 22nd November 2012. Two schools took part in exciting fun filled track and field events run by the outstanding Kingswood sports captains.
The first District Cross County Competition was held on Monday 19th November 2012 at West Glebe Park. All of the Kettering and Corby schools were represented with around 60 runners competing in each race.
As you are aware the school was closed yesterday as it was used as a polling station for the Corby Local Elections. However, there was action in the atrium as the BBC 1 programme Question Time was broadcast live from here last night.
Well done to our Year 11 Sports Captains who have completed a UK Athletics Sportshall Level 1 award. The course was delivered by Adam Burgess of UK Athletics who commented on the enthusiasm and effort of our Captains. Adam said ‘they were a credit to the school’ and he would like to use them to help run the ‘County Championships’ in February 2013.

There were fewer envious comments this year as we headed to wet North Wales rather than the slightly drier and warmer climate of Barcelona.
Dear Parents/Carers
Having completed just over a week in post I am delighted to be welcoming you back to the new academic year after what has been, I hope, a lovely summer for you. I have certainly enjoyed my brief time here to date and feel that there has been a very positive start to the term with students ready and prepared to learn.
Like many schools, we woke this morning wondering what this year’s crop of results would bring and are delighted to report that 79% of our students achieved 5+ GCSE grades at A*-C and of course there were some splendid individual results. Pride of place must go to Megan Plowman who achieved A*s and As across the board. Well done, Megan!

Our students have once again done us proud. Our Year 13 students have achieved the best set of results ever with an impressive 98% pass rate – in excess of our predictions.
