The power of nine, WGS students celebrate top GCSE results

Wolverhampton Grammar School is once again celebrating outstanding GCSE success, with 79% of all examinations awarded the top grades of 9 to 6 – equivalent to A* to B under the previous grading system..

This year’s results show exceptional achievement across the curriculum, with standout success in English, Maths and Science, alongside a wide range of creative and technical subjects. In particular, Art, Computer Science and RS saw over 60% of students awarded grades 9 and 8’s.

Over 25% of high-achieving students had extra reason to celebrate having each secured 10 or more GCSEs at grade 9 -7, a testament to their commitment and academic excellence.

I am incredibly proud of this year’s GCSE cohort. Their achievements reflect not only their hard work and resilience, but also the unwavering support of our exceptional teaching staff. At WGS, we place value on both academic achievement and the wider development of every student. The diversity of success this year once again highlights the strength of our all-round educational approach.

We’re excited to see these students take the next step in their educational journey with us,” Mr Anderson added. “We also look forward to welcoming new students joining Sixth Form in September.
