Students from Wolverhampton Grammar School consistently do well in examinations across our extensive range of subjects.
Results and pass rates for the School are well above the national average, consistently year on year securing our place as the City’s top Independent School.
In the Sixth Form our students have a free choice from over 20 subjects which are not constrained by option blocks. For those students whose strengths are better suited to coursework, we have a number of qualifications which include the Cambridge Technical and the Extended Project Qualification (EPQ) as well as an extensive range of A Levels.
GCSEs play an increasingly important role in enabling both universities and employers to assess an applicant’s academic ability and potential. GCSEs act as a useful benchmark for universities in particular, for example, a university degree course offering a year abroad option would usually require a language at GCSE.
