WITH the late-summer sunshine streaming across the 1,200 acre LWC campus, Lord Wandsworth pupils had much to celebrate, with 94 per cent of GCSE results graded A*-C and close to 80 per cent at A*-B, one of the best in many years and narrowly missing last August’s record-breaking performance.

As the headmaster, Adam Williams, celebrated the successes with staff and pupils alike, he was able to highlight notable achievements in physics, biology, chemistry, Latin and religious studies, with these departments scoring well over 90 per cent A*-B.

He commented “It is a pleasure to see our pupils thriving in what are often perceived as some of the most challenging and rigorous of GCSEs. I’m also hugely excited to see the sciences and maths, in particular, being chosen by so many in the A-level years: the future bodes well with such strong foundations in place. Being able to balance such strength in the classroom with the sheer breadth of other opportunities on offer here means our sixth form numbers are at their highest in the school’s history.”
