Students secure top grades at Westleigh High School

It was a perfect score for the school as 100% of students achieved five A* to G grades, 43% achieved A* to C and 55% of exam entries achieved A* to C grades.

Headteacher John Banks said: "We are all absolutely delighted for the students who have gained these excellent results.

"Our students worked very hard to achieve these grades in light of the turbulent changes to the examination system and fully deserve the exciting futures ahead of them.

"Their success would not be possible without the students’ self-motivation; the hard work and commitment of the staff and governors, along with the support of our parents.

"The three-way partnership of pupils - parents – teachers is the key to Westleigh High School’s on-going success.

"Westleigh High School prides itself in providing excellent support for all of our students.

"We would like to extend our congratulations to them and we wish them every success in the future."

Westleigh saw some exceptional achievements with a number of individuals securing the best grades including students, Rebecca Williams who got nine A* and three As , Luke Holliday who achieved a total of nine A* and four As, Georgia Hanson with two A* and eight A's and Liam Birkbeck who achieved one A* and eight A grades.

Rebecca Williams is going ton to Winstanley College to study French, Physics, English Literature and Maths with the hope of one day becoming a child psychologist.

The 16-year-old, who was also head girl said: "I've really enjoyed my time at Westleigh.

"The people and teachers have all been great and really friendly.

"And I got to be head girl which was just brilliant and really helped me to get a lot more confidence to get up and speak in front of people and I was able to represent the school and give something back to them for all their help."

School leaver Liam Birkbeck is going to Winstanley College to study Geology, Chemistry, Physics and Maths.
