WRITHLINGTON School is celebrating a “phenomenal” set of exam results for its sixth form and GCSE students this summer.
The school stated, “Congratulations to all our students who have achieved an extremely impressive set of top grades with the return of exams this summer. At A-level, the students have achieved 70% A* to B and 90% A* to C grades, with an overall pass rate of 100%. At GCSE, the students achieved 82% at grade 9 – 4 in English and 71% at grade 9 – 4 in maths. We can also see that our students have made great progress since joining the school, with many students achieving top grades in the 9 – 7 range across all subjects in the school.”
Headteacher of Writhlington School, Keith Howard said, “The results our students have achieved this year are remarkable. Their results are well above national figures and the best A-level results the school has ever had! We are immensely proud of all the work and achievements of our students, especially after such a difficult and disrupted period in their education. Our teachers have worked tirelessly to ensure students are all able to progress on to further education and study, and we look forward to seeing what they will achieve in the future.”
The school continued, “We are incredibly proud of all our students who have put in so much hard work, with many achieving some truly outstanding results; our sixth form students are off to a range of destinations including top universities such as Oxford University, Imperial College London, King’s College London, University of Cardiff, as well as high level apprenticeships in a range of industries. We of course will be welcoming many of our Year 11 students back into our sixth form.
Headteacher, Keith Howard, concluded, “The results our students have achieved this year truly are exceptional and well-deserved. The return to exams this summer demonstrates they possess the necessary knowledge, skills and understanding for the grades they have achieved. When you consider they have had to complete a significant number of these courses remotely, it is testament to their commitment and dedication to their studies. Their engagement over the two years hasn’t faltered, even in the most adverse and challenging circumstances. The account given of the students from all the staff has been nothing but positive, they have been an excellent cohort and have done themselves, their parents and Writhlington School proud with their achievements.
“On behalf of all the staff at Writhlington, I wish each and every student the greatest success in the next stage of their journey.”
