Writhlington students have once again demonstrated excellent academic achievement, celebrating an impressive set of GCSE and Post-16 results. We are particularly proud that so many students not only achieved their outcomes but, in many cases, surpassed ambitious targets, across a wide range of subjects and abilities.
This year, our students have made significant improvements in their overall academic progress. This measure reflects the progress students make during their time at Writhlington, and we are delighted that our results are well above the national average.
We are celebrating the many students who achieved outstanding results, including top grades of 9–7, while also recognising every student who has made exceptional progress from their starting point in Year 7. Their success reflects the tremendous progress they have made throughout their time at the school, as well as their hard work, determination and commitment this year.
We are also delighted that our Post-16 provision achieved its highest outcomes in years, significantly outperforming previous results.
These results are a wonderful testament to the fact that Writhlington students can thrive academically across all ability ranges and subjects. The school saw particularly strong performances across a diverse range of subjects, including Art, Child Development, English, Geography, History, Music, Philosophy and Belief, PE, Sport and the Sciences — reflecting the wide range of talents and interests within our student community.
Headteacher Duncan Powell expressed his pride in the students' achievements:
“We are incredibly proud of all our students in Year 11 and 13. Their resilience, determination and commitment to their studies have been exceptional. These results are a fantastic reflection of the dedication they have shown, alongside the unwavering support of their families. We are also extremely grateful for the tireless work of our brilliant teaching staff, whose commitment and support have helped our students achieve such strong results. We are confident that our students will continue to achieve great things in the future.”
Writhlington School looks forward to welcoming many of our Year 11 students into the Sixth Form in September. We also wish those who are moving on to college, apprenticeships or other exciting opportunities the very best of luck for the future. We are incredibly proud of every one of them and look forward to seeing all that they go on to achieve.
