Year 11 Class of 2026 Achieves Outstanding GCSE Success with Highest Attainment in 6 Years
We are delighted to celebrate the achievements of our Year 11 students. This cohort has delivered one of the strongest sets of results in the school's history, achieving the highest Attainment 8 score in six years alongside exceptional progress across the curriculum. These results reflect the ambition, resilience and commitment that define the West Hatch community.
Mrs Reid, Head of Year 11, said:
"This year group has been an absolute privilege to work with. We have seen them grow into a resilient, ambitious and supportive community of young people. These outstanding results are the culmination of their hard work, alongside the unwavering support of families and our dedicated staff team. They thoroughly deserve this success."
There were excellent outcomes across a wide range of subjects. Maths was a particular strength, with more than a quarter of students achieving grades 7-9 and results significantly above national averages. Strong performances were also seen in Physics, Biology, Chemistry, Spanish and PE, alongside impressive achievements in English, Art, History and Geography.
Our highest-attaining students were especially impressive, with the top 20 students achieving an incredible 74 Grade 9s between them. Raisa achieved eight Grade 9s and two Grade 8s, securing the highest Attainment 8 score in the year group.
While we are proud of these results, we are even prouder of the young people behind them. The Class of 2026 has shown determination, maturity and a strong sense of community throughout their time at West Hatch.
Congratulations to the Class of 2026. We are incredibly proud of you all and wish you every success in the future. 🎉🎓👏
