News Flash!

 Year 11 Examination Outcomes!

We were delighted to welcome nearly all of Year 11 into Winston to collect their GCSE and Vocational results today.  This important right of passage from Winston on into the world of post-16 is the final time that the Year Group is together with Mr Weale, their Year leader, and many of their teaching staff.

The results are outstanding and we witnessed the excitement and joy of the students who received their excellent results.  We are incredibly proud of what these young people have achieved and I am sure that they will celebrate with family and friends.

There was a short wait as Winston had agreed to be part of the Department for Education results App.  This was the first time we had engaged with the process and we also permitted two members of the DfE to come and observe and gather our feedback.  Thank you to everyone who participated in this initiative, I hope you find it useful to have all the information in one place on your phone.

We now look forward to hearing about your successful post-16 placement, as you have developed the skills to manage confidently the next stage of your lives, along with the grades to get you there.  You now have choices, use them wisely!

Good luck and best wishes for your future.
