St. Wilfrid’s RC College hard work rewarded
St. Wilfrid’s R.C. College is extremely proud of the results achieved by our Year 11 students in their GCSE and BTEC courses. The school is delighted that the gifts and talents, hard work and dedication of our students and staff has been rewarded.
Promising results
All headline attainment measures have improved since the last set of external examinations in 2019, including the number of students achieving five strong passes in English and maths. There has been a significant increase in the number of students achieving strong EBacc qualifications.
20% of all GCSE entries are at Grade 7 or above; there have been exceptional performances by many students.
Students of particular achievement include: Fruitfulness Omoragbon, who achieved 10 GCSEs at Grade 7 or above, including six at Grade 9; Yvonne-Maree McDermott, Alejandro White and Luke Hall, who all achieved a full set of results at Grade 7 or above, with five at Grade 9. Liam Allen, Byron Dean and Mya Robson all achieved outstanding progress.
Power of education
Denise Ritchie, Head of School, said:
“Students have had a tough academic journey and have shown real resilience in coping with the immense challenges brought about by the Covid pandemic. They are a fantastic cohort, who have displayed a positive attitude and a determination to succeed throughout their academic journey. Their hard work and support for each other has helped them to prepare for the first set of external examinations in three years. They have been a privilege to work with.”
Mrs Ritchie added:
“We are thrilled for all of our students. The results are a true testament to the power of education in our ambitious curriculum and the calibre of our talented staff within St Wilfrid’s, part of Bishop Chadwick Catholic Education Trust. Our students should be immensely proud of what they have achieved; we wish them the best of luck for the future. We are delighted that so many of our students have chosen to continue their learning journey with us in our Sixth Form and we look forward to welcoming them back to school in September.”
