Congratulations, Year 11!

We are thrilled to share the stunning achievements of our Year 11 students at Walthamstow School for Girls this year. Well done to all our students; we are proud of each of you!

At WSFG, we are dedicated to ‘bringing out the gift’ in every student, recognising that success looks different for everyone. While examination results are just one aspect of that journey, we know that strong results can open doors and provide better opportunities. It is with great pleasure that we celebrate some of this year's remarkable successes.

You may have heard about the stricter grade boundaries this year, but despite these challenges, WSFG saw significant successes across key measures. This year, 66% of students achieved a grade 5 or above in English and maths, compared to 54% in 2019. An impressive 83% of students earned a grade 4 or above in these subjects, up from 79% in 2019.

Our students continue to excel across the board, with 62% achieving 5 or more GCSEs at grade 5 or above, including English and Maths, and 83% earning grade 4 or above. These results have ensured that most of our students leave equipped to pursue strong college courses.

We extend our heartfelt thanks to the staff who were present on the day to celebrate with the students and offer guidance to those who needed it.

Their advice to next year’s year 11 students is to maintain their focus, study hard consistently but make time for fun and have faith in yourself !

We are incredibly proud of all our students, not just the highest achievers. A huge thank you to our dedicated staff, who worked tirelessly to support Year 11, and to our parents for their unwavering support and commitment.  Our students’ success has truly been a team effort.

This has been a remarkable year group, full of courage, compassion, and creativity. We are so proud of you and wish you every success in the future.
