Today brings wonderful news for Woldingham School’s Year 11 students - with nearly half of all GCSE grades at 9-8 and 70% at 9-7, they have much to celebrate. Results in English, Geography, Triple Science and Spanish were particularly impressive: 94% of Triple Science results and more than 90% of Spanish results were grades 9-7. MFL results overall were extremely strong, with students achieving an average of two grades higher than predicted for French, German and Spanish.
There were some excellent individual results with almost one in five students achieving nine or more GCSEs at grade 9 or 8, including twins Tess and Sophie. Music scholar Kiara achieved 10 grade 9s and Laura, who is always at the forefront of academic pursuits at school and throwing herself into research projects and science competitions, excelled with a straight set of grade 9 results.
Mr Terry Nunes, Head of Year 11, is thrilled for the students, saying: “What a joy it is to celebrate our students’ brilliant set of GCSE results - I am so proud of everything they have achieved through hard work, positivity and determination. This year group has been a real inspiration; not only excelling in exams but dazzling us with their talents on stage, on the sports field and through their commitment to our school community. Their friendship, encouragement and support for one another over the past two years has been remarkable, and I know these bonds will carry them far. As they move into Sixth Form, I am certain they will go on to accomplish extraordinary things.”
Sue Baillie, Head added: “I am delighted for all the girls that sat GCSEs this year, who are today enjoying a great set of results. This cohort was heavily impacted by COVID because they began Year 7 in 2020, and it is a testament to the nurture and uniqueness of the Woldingham experience that they have navigated the last five years so successfully. With the vast majority continuing their educational journey here at Woldingham, these students have much to look forward to as our new Lower Sixth. I am confident they will continue to thrive, excel academically and embrace all that Woldingham has to offer both inside and outside the classroom. Congratulations, girls!”
