GCSE Results Success Continues for Wayland Academy

Wayland Academy pupils celebrate continued success today as they receive another monumental set of results. 63% of students achieved grades 9-4 in English and Maths, within this, 77% of pupils achieved grade 4 or higher in Maths and 73% in English. Alongside this 47% achieved grades 9-5 across English and Maths, with 62% achieving a grade 5 or better in Maths and 55% in English. 

As Ofqual announced last week, the return to pre-pandemic grading means nationally results will be lower than last summer and therefore it is most meaningful to compare to the results of 2019. Therefore, when comparing this year’s results vs. 2019’s results, Wayland Academy has seen an 8% improvement on pre-pandemic levels.  

In addition to the core offer, students achieved excellent results in a wide range of subjects with over 30% of the cohort securing the English Baccalaureate. 
 

Glen Allott, Principal at Wayland Academy said: 

“We are incredibly proud of our Year 11 cohort and how they have been able to once again achieve results for the school which are significantly better than those pre-pandemic. There have been some amazing standout performances this year and it is an absolute privilege to present those students with their results. I would also like to thank our teachers and parents for their support in making this possible.” 

Extremely proud of the hard work that has gone into preparing pupils for their GCSEs it is wonderful to see so many proud with their efforts and excited to journey on to the next stage of their education after Wayland Academy. Students that have excelled in their GCSEs are hoping to attend some of the best sixth forms in the county, including Sir Isaac Newton Sixth Form and Jane Austen College, both Inspiration Trust schools.

I am off to Sir Isaac Newton to study Maths, Further Maths and Physics, in the future I am hoping to go into Electrical Engineering after my A-Levels. I am really pleased with my results, especially in English.”
