Exam Results
Key Stage 4
This year the Sir Robert Woodard Academy celebrated another year of academic excellence. Whether in classrooms, laboratories, workshops, studios, on the stage, or out on the playing fields, our students achieved remarkable grades across the curriculum.
In English and Maths, students thrived under the guidance of passionate and talented teachers. This year, no fewer than nine students achieved a coveted Grade 9 in Maths, while seven students earned the top Grade 9 in English.
More than 75% of our students pursue French or Spanish to GCSE level, and this year their performance has been nothing short of magnificent. An impressive 80% of our Spanish scholars secured a strong GCSE pass, with 20% achieving a top Grade 7 or above. Likewise, our commitment to delivering a high-quality History and Geography curriculum paid off, with over 25 students in each subject achieving a Grade 7 or higher. Our Art students also excelled, with over 20% of the class earning a Grade 7 or above for their outstanding creations.
Principal Kieran Scanlon said: “So pleased to see this group of students get what they deserve. Our languages results in particular are exceptional and great evidence of the improvement journey that the school has been on. Yet another year where SRWA can safely say best results ever!”
