Top achievers at Warblington School celebrate GCSE results as ‘proud’ headteacher wishes students future success

Youngsters from Year 11 eagerly awaiting their GCSE results visited the school to collect the envelopes containing their final grades.

Mike Hartnell, headteacher of Warblington School, said: ‘We are immensely proud of all the work and achievements of our students, especially after such a difficult and disrupted year.

‘We have worked tirelessly to ensure students are all able to progress onto further education and study, and we look forward to seeing what they will achieve in the future with these excellent set of outcomes.

‘The results this year represent our continued improvement as a school and are a reflection of the hard work everyone has put in.

‘This is a year group we are incredibly proud of and wish them every success in the future.’

The school has reported a number of achievements by students sitting GCSEs, A-levels, and other qualifications this summer.

Student Tilly Taylor achieved 12 grades seven to nine, the top grades that could be awarded, while Maddie Bailey and Rhiannon Griffiths achieved 11 of the top grades.

Tai Nguyen achieved 11 top grades - including eight grade nines with an A in additional maths - and is now progressing to college.
