WGS CELEBRATES HIGH LEAGUE TABLE PLACING

Wolverhampton Grammar School is once again celebrating its placing in the annual league tables which were published on Thursday.

The school consolidated its position as one of the highest performing in the region following record GCSE and A Level results in the summer.

“It is extremely encouraging to see that we remain so high in the league tables,” comments Head of WGS, Vincent Darby. “With 100 per cent pass rate at GSCE we are clearly achieving far above government recommendations and at A Level there are few schools who do better than WGS in the entire West Midlands.”

Wolverhampton Grammar School offers one of the widest range of subject choices at both GCSE and A Level. And with subject specialists teaching in all areas of the curriculum, the school continues to produce outstanding results.

WGS is one of only seven schools in the West Midlands which saw 100 per cent of its GCSE students achieve at least five A* – C grades, including passes in both English and Maths. At A Level, a 100 per cent pass rate (including a record 80 per cent at A & B), resulted in a points per pupil score of over 986 – one of the highest in the region.

“We are proud of the consistently high academic standards we achieve here at WGS,” continues Vincent Darby. “Just as we are proud that as Wolverhampton’s grammar school we are helping to ensure the city’s standing in the national league tables continues to progress.

“There is always room to improve however and everyone here – staff and students alike – will be working hard to ensure next year’s league tables reflect the continued progress of Wolverhampton Grammar School as one of the top schools in the region.”
