In recent years, over 85% of our current Year 11 students opt to continue their A Level education with us, a factor we feel reflects the sense of belonging we encourage in the students and the quality of teaching we provide. Each year we also have between 50 and 70 new students joining our school community who make a valued contribution to the school and attain highly in their A Levels.
In both 2021 and 2022, the A Level results for WHSG have been ranked as the highest in the borough and in 2022 resulted in WHSG being ranked the 8th Best Girls' State secondary school in England, by the Times 2022, with over 64% of the 2022 A level results being awarded a A/A*.
Places for the Sixth Form are in demand and new students are admitted inline with our Admissions Policy and on their actual GCSE grades. We do not make offers based on predicted grades to ensure that no student is disadvantaged by the predictions their school may award.
