We're still not over this week's fantastic GCSE results!

With almost half of all entries awarded the top 9-7 grades, our Year 11 students should be so proud of a set of results that reflects years of sustained effort, dedication and ambition.

We wish each of our students a very special summer of celebrations, and we look forward to welcoming so many of them back in September as their Sixth Form journey begins.

A huge congratulations to our Year 11 students who received their GCSE results yesterday!

Each and every student has approached their studies with dedication and determination, and we could not be prouder of what they have achieved.

We look forward to welcoming so many students back to Westholme in September as they take their next steps in our Sixth Form.

Coming just one week after our exceptional A Level results, today is another moment to celebrate the hard work, ambition and determination of our students.

Principal Paul Taylor said: “Our GCSE students have risen to the challenge with energy, resilience and ambition, and they should be enormously proud of what they have achieved.”

It's GCSE results day tomorrow, and we would like to wish each and every one of our students good luck as they open their envelopes.

Our students should be incredibly proud of the years of hard work, consistent effort and dedication that they have shown across their GCSE subjects - we are certainly very proud of them here at Westholme.
