GCSE Results 2018!

Students at Winterbourne Academy are celebrating an important milestone in their education with an impressive set of GCSE results. Many students will now progress to the academy’s sixth form, which once again secured excellent results at A level this year.

More than 58% of students achieved a grade 5 or above in English and Mathematics – an increase of 2% on 2017. Over 73% of students achieved a grade 4 or above in English and Mathematics. A superb 21% of all grades awarded were at 7-9, which is equivalent to A/A* previously.

Some top performers are as follows:
Emma Lovick	10 x 9s, A* in Italian and an A grade in Additional Mathematics
Kirsty Richens	7 x 9s, 2 x 8s, 1 x Distinction*
James Wishart	4 x 9s, 3 x 8s
Leoni Moorhouse	6 x 9s, 2 x 8s, 2 x 7s
Isaac Briggs	3 x 9s, 5 x 8s, 1 x 7
Megan Lee	5 x 9s, 4 x 8s

I am immensely proud of the success of all the students at Winterbourne Academy. The positive changes across the Academy during the past year have provided stability and have enabled our students to focus on achieving their best.

Students’ achievements at GCSE can be attributed to their confident attitudes to learning and the support of their parents and carers. I would also like to thank the teachers at Winterbourne who are committed to achieving the highest possible outcomes for all. Outgoing Principal, Peter Smart.

Winterbourne Academy formally joined The Olympus Academy Trust in February of this year although support was in place throughout 2017 whilst I was interim CEO. I am confident that the sponsorship of Olympus has had a significant impact in creating the conditions for students to be successful in their learning as we have worked to stabilise the academy. Winterbourne’s community deserves this strong set of results and an improving reputation. Chief Executive Officer Dave Baker.
