2022 Examination Results

Our Year 11 students attained strong examination results, keeping outcomes in line with the last time formal examinations were taken in 2019. Our progress (P8: + 0.24 and A8: 48.7) places us above the national average, in terms of progress, across schools in England. Notably, out of 172 students sitting GCSE examinations, 75% of students attained a standard pass (grade 4+) in both English and Maths, and 54% of students attained a strong pass (grade 5+) in both English and Maths. As a school we pride ourselves on nurturing and challenging every child to achieve their personal best.  This is why progress really matters to us.

Headteacher Mrs. Michelle Cooper said that “This results day has been special for students, parents and staff alike.  Seeing students open their GCSE results based on formal examinations has been amazing.  The smile on faces reflects the preparation and work that has gone into them.  Well done to all our students, we are very proud. Thank you for the tireless work of staff under challenging circumstances and to families for supporting their child in this journey. It is the Westgate team spirit that is reflected in these results.  Grades do not define us, but our ‘attitude’ does make all the difference.  We are proud of their attitudes and the way they have gone about their business.”

 

Students were unable to sit GCSE's in 2020 and so 2022 exams were the first external assessments taken. We are incredibly proud of their tremendous achievements.  Our Sixth Form students showed incredible grit and determination to secure grades that are truly reflective of their commitment and effort. 

Out of 77 Year 13 students, 9% of students attained A*-A, 30% of students achieved A*-B and 96% of our students’ results were A*-E.
