Year 11 celebrate GCSE results

Westbourne School, Sheffield’s only academically non-selective Independent School, is once again making headlines for its exceptional academic achievements.

We are delighted to announce an impressive set of GCSE results from our Year 11 pupils. They have shown exceptional resilience and determination in navigating the impact of the COVID pandemic during the early years of their secondary education, and we are incredibly proud of them.

An impressive 95% of all pupils gained at least 5 subjects at grade 4 or above, including the key subjects of English and Maths. Of all grades gained across the curriculum by all pupils, an impressive 38% were at level 7, 8 or 9 (A or A*), and 74% of all pupils gained at least one grade 7 (A).

This achievement underscores the dedication of our pupils and the unwavering support provided by our committed teaching staff.

Mr. Birbeck, Head of Senior School, expressed his pride in the pupils’ accomplishments:
“I am immensely proud of the achievements of all our Year 11 pupils, and I wish them every success as they leave Westbourne to pursue their post-16 studies at Sixth Forms and Colleges across Sheffield and beyond. Our intake is not academically selective, so to see such strong results from our wide range of pupils is a testament to their hard work and the inclusive, nurturing yet challenging environment that Westbourne provides.”

We are confident that the skills, knowledge, and experiences pupils have gained from their education at Westbourne will serve them well as they embark on the next stage of their educational journeys.

We congratulate all our Year 11 pupils on their outstanding achievements and extend our thanks to our dedicated staff, supportive families, and the entire Westbourne community for their role in helping our pupils succeed and thrive.

Westbourne School proudly maintains its distinction as Sheffield’s only academically non-selective independent school, solidifying its role as an educational beacon. This latest batch of exceptional GCSE results further cements Westbourne’s commitment to providing a comprehensive and outstanding education for all.
