Students at Wimbledon High School are today celebrating an impressive set of results at GCSE, chalking up the school’s highest ever number of top grades. The majority of courses involved the new 9-1 GCSEs, with their increased content, and girls rose to the challenge brilliantly; they have also achieved excellent results in the iGCSEs they sat.
Head Jane Lunnon said:
“These girls have worked incredibly hard, inspired by their wonderful teachers. They have achieved an outstanding number of the highest A* / equivalent grades and have shone across the whole range of new rigorous GCSE exams. At a time when the creative arts are under pressure, I am delighted to see 100% of our grades 9-7 in Music and DT, 93% 9 – 7 in Drama and 83% 9 – 7 in Art. These are alongside strong STEM performances.
“What is more, they have done this while throwing themselves into all aspects of school life. One set of our Year 11s rounded off a two-year writing and outreach project by heading to Ghana for 3 weeks earlier this summer, teaching Ghanaian schoolchildren and bringing them the story books they have published specifically for them. Others in the year group have campaigned for Merton against Trafficking – working with the charity, meeting with our local MP and bringing awareness to the school and wider community about the suffering of people who have been trafficked into the country.”
