Exams 2026
RESULTS DAY
Willingdon Community School continues to exceed expectations for students with our excellent exam results. Executive Headteacher Emily May says, “Our Year 11 cohort has shown significant resilience and an exceptional attitude to learning through their preparation and completion of GCSE exams, and this is reflected in their superb outcomes. Students have made exemplary progress, and this is particularly impressive given that our students had no SATs exams in Year 6 and limited transition from primary to secondary school caused by the Covid pandemic. We are very proud of students’ ambition and respect for their learning and future, and we are so grateful for the support from our whole community in enabling our students to achieve personal excellence.”
We are especially proud of our fantastic results in English, Maths, Drama and Music.
Students who achieved the very top grades include Matthew Bolland, Roshan Kazi, Reuben Wakefield, Ibrahim Ali, Eva Owen, Scarlett Pitt, Poppy Barnes, Georgia Webb, Ava Jackson and Liam O’Leary.
Particular praise goes to Sophie Hancock, Isabella Fuller, Fraser Matthews, Dylan Briggs, Oliver Greenhill, Jorge Nones, Zion McDonald-Honey, Elliot Pearce and Tilly Gosling who made incredible progress.

Results Day Press Release 2025
Willingdon Community School is delighted to celebrate the outstanding achievements of our students in this year’s GCSE examinations. Their commitment, determination and resilience have truly stood out, with many securing excellent grades across a wide variety of subjects. These results are not only a testament to the individual perseverance of our students, but also to the unwavering encouragement from our teachers, families and wider school community. We are immensely proud of the successes of all our students, across every ability, and look forward to following their next steps with great excitement.
Mrs May, Headteacher, remarked ' This cohort has faced unique challenges on their journey through education. Entering Willingdon during the pandemic, their final year of primary school was disrupted by national lockdowns, and they were unable to complete Year 6 in the way they had hoped. Despite this challenging start, they have consistently demonstrated our values of personal excellence. They have shown maturity, adaptability and determination, and have built strong, respectful relationships with staff and peers throughout their time with us.'
We are especially pleased that 80% of our students achieved a grade 9–4 in either English or Science, and 78% of students achieved a grade 9–4 in Maths. In addition, 71% of students gained grade 4 or above in both English and Maths, with 48% reaching grade 5 or higher in the combined measure. As an inclusive school, we recognise the importance of students achieving these key qualifications in order to progress successfully onto their chosen pathways. For those who did not reach grade 4, we are equally proud of the personal progress they made, supported by our dedicated SEND team, as they too have achieved their own individual milestones.
A number of subjects enjoyed particularly strong outcomes this year, including English, Maths, Drama, Music, Child Development, and Food Preparation.
We would like to give special recognition for exceptional attainment to Caleb Pout, Lily Richardson, Oscara Noakes, Max Higgins, Florence Baldwin, and Giorgio Fardella. In addition, we are thrilled to commend Emily Reid, Finlay Hammond, and Alfie Manning for the excellent progress they have made during their time at Willingdon.
