Alex Frazer, Head of Wolverhampton Grammar School commented: “Through a hugely difficult period in their education our students have kept their spirits up incredibly well and have worked exceptionally hard – I take my hat off to them. Teacher assessment has enabled those who know our students best –their teachers – to observe student performance and asses their ability using written and practical assessments, mock exams and coursework. Today’s results are testament to everyone’s hard work and dedication through what has been a difficult 18 months and I am incredibly proud of our student and staff community at Wolverhampton Grammar School.”

A full house of BTEC Distinction grades were awarded to Sixth Form students studying Music; 14 Cambridge Technical Distinction* and Distinction grades awarded to students studying Information Technology and Physical Education.

Sixth Form students achieved the highest number of A* - A grades for over 10 years, with 66% of entries receiving the top two grades. For those students who were awarded nothing but exceptional grade 9s in Year 11, their success is truly outstanding after such a challenging period of time.
