Winterstoke Hundred celebrates first GCSE successes
Winterstoke Hundred Academy is proud to celebrate the release of its first ever set of GCSE results.
This milestone is especially meaningful for the founding cohort of students, who joined the academy when it first opened and have seen it grow from a small, emerging school into a thriving, full-capacity academy.
Headline results in English and maths are strong, performing above the national average, with equally strong performances in science, drama, hospitality and catering, and computer science.
These outcomes reflect the academy’s commitment to delivering a broad and high-quality curriculum.
Principal Matt Randle said: “We are absolutely delighted with our students’ achievements. This cohort has shown remarkable resilience and ambition. They’ve not only navigated the academic demands of GCSEs, but also helped shape the culture and identity of our school from the very beginning.
“Today marks the culmination of years of hard work, resilience, and determination, and every student should feel proud of what they’ve achieved. Whether securing top grades or reaching personal milestones, these results represent real progress and open exciting doors for the future.
“I also want to thank our incredible staff for their unwavering commitment and dedication. Their support, expertise, and care have been instrumental in guiding our students through their learning journeys. As we continue through a period of growth, we are pleased with the progress we’ve made to date and excited about what lies ahead.”
There are many notable success stories among Winterstoke Hundred students. Particular highlights include Adam Z, who achieved 8 grade 9s and 4 grade 8s, and Victoria C, who achieved 3 grade 9s and 7 additional grades at grade 7 or above.
The Winterstoke Hundred students were among nearly 2,000 young people across the Cabot Learning Federation (CLF) who received their results today – with many celebrating outstanding results and getting set for the next stage of their education.
CLF Deputy CEO Sally Apps said: “As a trust we would like to extend our congratulations to the 1,994 students who are receiving their GCSE and equivalent qualifications today.
“These are the result of considerable effort, diligence and determination and the results celebrated today are opening the door to a range of excellent onward destinations for our young people who have studied at our mainstream and specialist schools.
“It is with considerable gratitude to our staff and parents that we celebrate, knowing that these outcomes are achieved as a result of a considerable team effort.
“It is particularly pleasing to see that this year, more young people who have experienced challenge and disadvantage during their school career are collecting strong results.
“We are proud of them and delighted for them, and wish all CLF Year 11 students – now part of our valued alumni and in many cases continuing their onward study with us – a happy and successful educational career.”
Enrolment is now open for post-16 courses at Winterstoke Hundred’s dedicated Sixth Form Centre, located at the Beaufighter Road site in Weston-super-Mare.
As part of the Cabot Learning Federation, we offer a dynamic and supportive learning environment tailored to help students thrive academically and personally.
