Wellington’s Court Fields School is celebrating the achievements of Year 11 students in their 2026 GCSE examinations.

Headteacher Polly Matthews said the results reflected the hard work, resilience and determination shown by students throughout their time at the school, supported every step of the way by dedicated staff and families.

Highlights included the attainment of students across the board (reflected in the school’s improving Attainment 8 measure), a continuing improvement in the results for disadvantaged students, especially those securing a Grade 4 (Standard Pass) in English and increased numbers of students gaining the highest grades at 7 and above across a range of subjects.

The school also saw increasing numbers of students making exceptional progress from Key Stage 2 to the end of Key Stage 4.

Mrs Matthews said: “We are very pleased with the achievements of our students this year. These results are a reflection of the commitment, perseverance and positive attitude shown by our young people throughout their studies.

“We are equally proud of the dedication of our staff, whose expertise and encouragement have helped students fulfil their potential."

Among the high-performing subjects this year were History, French, Performing Arts, Art, and Photography. The school also highlighted significant improvements in Design Technology, Food, and Creative iMedia, reflecting the impact of targeted support and curriculum development in these areas.

Mrs Matthews added: "We are very proud of all our students and everything they have achieved. As they move on to the next stage of their education, training or employment, they do so with a wealth of experiences, skills and achievements that will serve them well in the future. We have every confidence that they will continue to thrive and make a positive contribution wherever their next steps take them."
