In Touch Messages - Leavers
Please note that when messages are sent via InTouch we only have the ability to select currently on roll pupils/contacts or leaver pupils/contacts. This means we are then able to contact leavers for such activities as presentation evening for example. For the general whole school mailings contacts would automatically be excluded from the selection once your child’s record has been marked as left. The relevant Year 11 pupil records will be marked as ‘Leavers’ by the end of this week once we know who is confirmed as returning to 6th Form or not, at which point any general mailings should cease.
Delight at GCSE Results
The academy is extremely proud of the GCSE results, demonstrating the hard work and achievement of the pupils and teaching staff. We are celebrating 100% pass rate across the academy, with results in English and Maths better than expected. There were some outstanding individual results, with one pupil achieving the 9 and seven A* grades.
Headteacher Ann Kingman commented, 'I am delighted with the performance of our pupils. Both staff and pupils, supported by their parents, have worked extremely hard, showing belief and aspiration to achieve these outcomes. They were an excellent year group and have not disappointed.'
Students Celebrate A Level Success
A Level students and staff at the Weston Road Academy are celebrating A Level results this year with a 99% pass rate, with approximately two thirds of entries resulting in A*-B grades and over 80% at grade C or higher.
