Good GCSE results can show evidence of commitment to a subject, and they do carry weight alongside A-levels and the personal statement. But we are looking for well-rounded characters, so don't give up the football or ballet.

The Kings are very pleased to make a long-term commitment to Alex. He is a very gifted offensive player who, at just 23 years of age, has already made significant contributions to our organization.
