ON the back of some fine A-level results, the GCSE pupils at Lord Wandsworth College shone this summer, with over half of all GCSE grades being awarded at A* or A (53 per cent) and 80 per cent of all grades at A*-B, equalling the school’s best GCSE performance in many years and against the backdrop of more challenging exams and reports of less certainty in the new grading system. Ninety five per cent of pupils achieved and average of A*-C across all subjects.

The college said huge congratulations, in particular, go to Tabitha Restall-Young and Hristina Iankova, who achieved the perfect set of 10A*s, closely followed by 12 other pupils including Amy McGeoch, Luke Allison and Alvin Boateng who achieved eight or nine A*s.

Headmaster Adam Williams said, “It is a privilege to see our pupils continue to fulfil their potential across the wide range of subjects, yet maintain their passions for music, sport, drama and the broader co-curriculum.

“They remain committed to reaching out in the community to make a positive difference to others too, which is truly inspirational. Our mission to transform the teaching and learning landscape at LWC while maintaining the ethos of the college continues apace, and these results are testament to the exciting changes that have been made.”
