We are delighted with the excellent set of examination results achieved by our 6^th Form students once again. We would like to extend our congratulations to all our wonderful students on their achievements which are well deserved.

We are immensely proud of all our students and wish them the very best for the future. We continue to offer our full support and assistance to all students in the coming days and weeks, following the release of the A-Level and Level 3 results today, together we succeed.

Woodroffe has a long track record of academic excellence, and this year is no different. Our students have achieved incredibly well across the extensive range of A-Level and Level 3 qualifications offered and will continue to do so in the future.

We are continually amazed by the commitment, resilience, and progress shown by our students both in their academic studies and wider school life. We also recognise the additional anxiety caused by the tragic loss of our Head of 6^th Form and thank our parents and carers for their continued support in what has been an extremely upsetting process for all concerned.

Our staff worked incredibly hard to ensure that all our students have been cared for and have continued to receive the best education possible. We have ensured that students have been given every chance to succeed and pursue their chosen next steps.

And to our wonderful students, you have done and will continue to do amazing things. The grades you have received today have been fully earned and are the result of your hard work, dedication, and perseverance. We look forward to hearing about your journey and the success you have in the future. Congratulations, enjoy today and look forward to tomorrow.

It was pleasing to see so many top grades across all subject areas and there were outstanding performances in Biology, Chemistry, Classical Civilisations, English, Maths and Photography where well over a third of the cohort achieved a grade A* – A. Our students really do benefit from having the widest range of post 16 qualifications available to them within the area.

Students also performed highly across our BTEC qualifications with Libby Flux, Ella Sweeney and Bailey Taylor achieving a Distinction*, whilst Scarlet Coles, Lily Hunt, Mills Marmion, Joe Morgan, Penny Solway and Maeve Wright achieved a Distinction.

Of the 27 students studying the EPQ qualification, 8 achieved an A grade and 100% passed at grade A – D.

Across the two years of study, many students made fantastic progress because of their hard work and commitment. Those students making significant progress across their qualifications include – Antonia Barrand, Emily Boon, Lilly Fry, Bethany Tattershall and Daisy Weldin.

Students will be leaving Woodroffe to take up places at many of the top universities in the country including Oxbridge and the Russell Group to name but a few. We wish all our students well and are confident that they are on course to succeed at degree level and beyond.

We are delighted that the school year ended so positively and that students were able to share some key moments together, it was fantastic to see them enjoying time at prom and seeing them celebrate their success today.
