WALTHAMSTOW ACADEMY CELEBRATES EXCELLENT GCSE RESULTS

Following last week’s superb A Level results, Walthamstow Academy is celebrating once again as students collect their GCSE results.

Almost two thirds of students achieved a five or above in both English and maths with a quarter achieving a seven or above in the core subjects.  These excellent results are an increase on those achieved last year reflecting the ever-improving standards at Walthamstow Academy.

Among those celebrating standout individual performances today, many of whom will be returning to Walthamstow Academy Sixth Form, are:

• Muhammad who achieved seven grade 9s and two grade 8s;
• Eden who achieved seven grade 9, one grade 8 and one grade 7;
• Martha who achieved six grade 9s, two grade 8 and one grade 6;
• Jarush who achieved six grade 9s and three grade 8s;
• George who achieved three grade 9s, two grade 8s, three grade 7s and one grade 6;
• Azan who achieved four grade 9s, two grade 8s and three grade 6s;
• Chris who achieved three grade 9s, four grade 8s and 2 grade 6s.

These results mean that students have secured the grades they need to begin their A Level courses at the academy’s Sixth Form which achieved a fantastic set of results last week.  Almost a third of all A Level entries achieved an A* or A and, as a result, over 60% of students beginning their degrees are doing so at Russell Group universities.

Commenting on the results, Emma Skae, Principal at Walthamstow Academy, said:

“It is wonderful to be celebrating with our students again this morning.  Last week, our Year 13s achieved a superb set of results and I am just as proud of our Year 11 students today.  These exceptional results are a product of our students’ hard work, determination and drive and they deserve to be celebrating today.

 “Thank you to every member of staff for the part they have played in helping our students achieve these grades.  We are fortunate to have a team of inspirational and highly knowledgeable staff who work hard to unlock the full potential of each and every student.

 “As the summer comes to an end, I am looking forward to the year ahead and can’t wait to see those students collecting their results today embark on their next chapter at our thriving and highly successful Sixth Form.”

They have shown real dedication and commitment to their studies and it has really paid off. I know they will go on to achieve further successes and will continue to do themselves proud.
