It has been another strong year for Wellington School pupils as the GCSE results are released today. Nearly three quarters of GCSE grades at Wellington School scored A*-B this year with 43% at A*-A.
Headmaster, Henry Price, commented, ‘I am very pleased with this set of results and I would like to congratulate all the pupils for their hard work. We had well over a hundred pupils sitting GCSE examinations this year and I am delighted by so many individual success stories contained in these statistics.
The Sciences and Mathematics as well as Latin (and Greek) were the best performing departments in terms of the A* grade with percentages between 37-50%, but there has been a great deal of hard work by staff across all departments in helping pupils achieve and often exceed their expectations.
The Heads of Department are looking at any results that do not match our expectations and I am sure that some remarks will bring further improvement.
This degree of success in such strong facilitating subjects underlines the emphasis placed on academic achievement as well as the breadth of opportunities in co-curricular activities. At Wellington School, pupils study the more rigorous IGCSE in Sciences, Mathematics and Modern Languages.”
