Year 11 GCSE Results - Wellsway School students are celebrating having received superb GCSE results

Year 11 GCSE Results - Wellsway School students are celebrating having received superb GCSE results.

“We are very proud of our students who have worked so hard to achieve these results and we are grateful for the support we always receive from parents to ensure their children strive to do their best”, said Principal, Rob Pearsall. "I couldn't be happier for them. Well done to each, and every student."

More than 62% of students gained five passes at grade 5 or above, including English and Maths and 85% gained five passes at grade 4 or above.

“These outcomes are a reflection of the outstanding level of commitment given by our students and staff who have all worked extremely hard to enable our students to reach their full potential.

“We're not all about results here, at Wellsway School we celebrate personal success and whilst so many of our students have attained fantastically high grades we are equally proud of those who have worked hard and achieved their potential, regardless of the measurable outcome.  Not only did the year group perform well in this set of exams, they have contributed positively to school life, grown into responsible, caring citizens and given us the opportunity to laugh often and be proud!”

In a range of fantastic results, there were some outstanding outcomes for individual students.  These include: Nathan Cundy and Adam Leeper (who both achieved nine Grade 9s and one Grade 8); Charles Husband (six Grade 9s, four Grade 8s); Dylan John seven Grade 9s, two Grade 8s, one Grade 7); Finlay Totterdell (six Grade 9s, two Grade 8s,one Grade 7s); Laurence Fay (seven Grade 9s, 1 Grade 8s, two Grade 7s); Isobel Sandrey (six Grade 9s, 3 Grade 8s, 1 Grade 7); Lucy Williams (five Grade 9s, four Grade 8s, one Grade 7) and Henry Moss (seven Grade 9s, one Grade 8, one Grade 7 and a Grade 5). This is a real accolade given the increased rigour and challenge of all the new examination specifications for this year group after the challenges they have faced due to their learning being affected by Covid. 

There were further excellent individual successes including: Stephanie Ruddle, Samuel Bennett, Michael Allen, Ellis Bywater, Abi Elford-Ogunlude and Braeden Wells who have all made outstanding progress. Whilst we have highlighted some students, as a school we recognise the academic success of all our students who have overcome adversity, which truly reflects the distinct characteristics of our Wellsway learners at all levels.

This is enormously rewarding and our whole community will be celebrating all our many successes at GCSE, which now allows them to securely take the next step into their future career pathways, be that into further education, vocational courses or an apprenticeship placement.

The results show that despite the challenges that life has thrown at them in the last two years, when individuals work hard and apply themselves excellent progress can be made enabling students to progress to the next stage of their life with confidence and a sense of pride in their efforts.

Following our excellent A Level results last week, we are delighted to see all our subjects have continued to perform well against expectations.  The staff and governors are so proud of all our students’ achievements and we look forward to many of them returning to study in our thriving Sixth Form as part of Futura Sixth, alongside new students joining us from other schools. 

Thank you to all our parents and carers for their continued support.

We wish all our students good luck with their future plans.

A Level Results Day - Wellsway School 'immensely proud of Year 13'

A Level Results Day - Wellsway School 'immensely proud of Year 13'

A Level Results Day - Wellsway School 'immensely proud of Year 13'

We are immensely proud of our Year 13 students and all of their achievements throughout their time in Wellsway Sixth Form. This comes after a time of unprecedented change and challenging examinations, where our students have consistently shown that they are adaptive and resilient as they tackled their studies head on. Overall, 65% of Wellsway students obtained a grade B or higher, and 87% a grade C or higher; this shows a good improvement since our last set of formal examination results in 2019.

We have always been mindful that for this cohort these are the first formal exams that many of them have sat. Whilst it has been a tough two years for everyone, nothing should distract us from the celebration of this point in their lives; our priority has been to do everything we can to support our students and to help them achieve their aspirations.

It is clear that all of their hard work and perseverance has culminated in the fantastic grades they received today. There are many great students celebrating their results today, but we would like to say congratulations to the following students who have achieved outstanding results:

  • Harry Campbell achieved 4 A*s in Biology, Chemistry, Maths and Further Maths
  • Emma Pearce achieved 4 A*s in Biology, Chemistry, Maths and Further Maths
  • Rebekah Bolton achieved 2 A*s in English Literature and Geography, an A in Psychology and A* in EPQ
  • Joe Snarr achieved 2 A*s in Maths and Further Maths, an A in economics and a B in Geography

Also, to be commended are Oliver Turner (A*, A, A), Oliver Taviner (A*, A, A), James Cole (A*, A, A), Rose Parkinson (A*, A, B), Thomas May (A*, A, B), Luke Hutchings (A, A, A), Izma Hussain (A*, A, B) & Will Haskins (A*, A, B). Two further students to highlight are Thomas Dixon and Catherine Zainuddin who showed great progress during their Sixth Form studies.

As a truly comprehensive Sixth Form, catering for all abilities, we are pleased that almost all students have achieved grades which have enabled them to successfully progress to the next stage of their chosen route in either education, training or employment. Emma is reading Chemistry with Medicinal Science at the University of Southampton, Harry Chemistry at the University of York, Izma History at Warwick University, James History at the University of Birmingham, and Joe Maths at University College London (UCL). Students have gained places on competitive apprenticeships, with Owen completing a Level 7 masters apprenticeship in Tax, Harvey working with Wessex Water and Dan starting engineering with BAE.

It is always great to have the opportunity to celebrate with students on results day and we wish them all the best with their next step and in the future. We would like to thank the students and teachers for their hard work, and the parents for their support, over the last seven years.

Well done to the class of 2022 – you have made us very proud!
