Pupils and staff at St Wilfrid’s RC College, part of the Bishop Chadwick Catholic Education Trust, are celebrating another year of strong GCSE results. An impressive 75% of all grades were at Grade 4 or above, with a significant increase in the number of students achieving strong passes in both English and maths.

Many of our pupils will be returning to our highly successful Sixth Form, where we look forward to supporting them as they continue to grow and thrive. We are incredibly proud of their achievements and hope they enjoy a well-deserved day of celebration with their families and friends.”
