Wolgarston High School is proud to announce another great year of GCSE results. This year, 76% of students achieved a grade 4 or above in English and Maths.

“Wolgarston has supported me to achieve the best possible results, “ said Dan Harris (Year 11 student), “I’m over the moon! I have passed everything! I have achieved two GCSE Grade 9's in History and Graphics, as well as five GCSE Grade 8's in Maths, Biology, Chemistry, Physics and English. I am looking forward to coming back in September to continue my education."

Headteacher Mr Dan Boden commented: “We are incredibly proud of our students’ achievements. These results reflect their hard work, resilience, and the unwavering support of our dedicated staff and families. Despite the challenges faced by this cohort, including the lasting impact of the pandemic, they have shown exceptional determination and maturity.”

"As students look ahead to their next steps, many will be continuing their journey at Wolgarston’s Sixth Form, which also celebrated outstanding A-Level results last week. We want to take this opportunity to wish all of our students Good Luck as they embark on the next stage of their educational journey."
