A Level and GCSE Results 2020
Wakefield Girls’ celebrated super results this year, as well as a commitment to study and perseverance in pursuing success in challenging times. With so much recent uncertainty around the awarding of results, following what has been a difficult and unsettling year, it is important that our students know how much we value their achievements.
I am delighted to see so many students rewarded for their hard work and effort over the last two years. We are celebrating the results of our accomplished students today but this is just one part of the Wakefield Girls’ education. More important are the skills, compassion and perspective our students develop - the confidence, determination, courage and resilience they have which prepare them ready for life and work, wherever they may find themselves and whatever they choose to do.
53% of A Level grades this year are awarded A*/A with 77% of grades A* to B and 90% of students secured their first or second choice university place.
49% of GCSE results at Wakefield Girls’ were awarded at the top levels of grade 9 and 8 and 72% passed GCSEs at Grade 7 or above with 100% pass rate for all students. We look forward to welcoming many students back to our Sixth Form.
While we celebrate results, education at Wakefield Girls' goes far beyond the examined syllabus, fostering a sense of scholarship with many diverse extracurricular opportunities. I know that these young women will continue to flourish and will make a difference in our world.
