RESULTS DAYS 2024

Willingdon Community School are thrilled to celebrate the considerable achievements of our students in this year’s GCSE results. Their hard work, dedication, and resilience have truly shone through, with many achieving strong grades across a range of subjects. Their success not only reflects their individual efforts but also the unwavering support from our teachers, families, and the entire school community. We are incredibly proud of what our students across a range of abilities have accomplished and look forward to seeing them thrive in their future endeavours.

We must remind ourselves of the challenging journey that this year group faced at the start of their time at Willingdon Community School. Within their third term of year 7, we went into a national lockdown, and they missed the in person experience of learning and building relationships. However, this year group demonstrated personal excellence values in everything that they did. Their attendance to school was consistently excellent every single year which helped them to make such good progress from their starting points. The year group conducted themselves in an exemplary fashion, making and sustaining professional relationships with all members of the community.

84% of our student body achieved a grade 4 and above in English. 81% in Maths, and 83% in Science, which is above national average. This is an incredible achievement as we always pride ourselves on being an inclusive school. For those who did not achieve a grade 4, we recognise that they have reached their own individual levels of personal excellence with support from our SEND team. Subjects who achieved particularly well include Art, Biology, Chemistry, Child Development, D.T, Drama, Engineering, Food Preparation, English, Maths, Music, Physics and Spanish. Our average grade equated to a strong pass in every subject. In every headline measure, the school has made exceptional progress compared to previously strong results.

Particular mentions for exceptional attainment go to Elektra Sabattini, Ella Collins, and Amy Diprose. Brilliant progress was also made by Tony Coaja, Lilly Price, Toby Shepherd, and Oscar Healy throughout their Willingdon journeys.
