Farewell and Good Luck to Year 13

On 6th May 2025, we bid farewell to our Year 13 students. Many took the opportunity to sign T-shirts, take photographs with friends as mementos, and thank the staff at Kingsbury High School for their ongoing support and guidance over the years.

We wish all our Year 13s the very best of luck in their upcoming examinations. We are proud of their accomplishments—and all the future successes yet to come.

A special well done to our vocational (BTEC) students for their hard work and dedication over the past two years as they complete their courses.

Results Day 2025 will take place on Thursday, 14th August.
