It gives us great pleasure to start the year in celebrating with you the best examinations results in Wellington’s history since the opening of the school in September 2005. Congratulations to the entire Year 11, 12 and 13 Cohort for 2009, and some of our younger students in Years 8 , 9 and 10 (as part of our fast-track programme in selected subjects) on their examination results.
Our Year 11 Cohort 2009 sitting their IGCSE /GCSE examinations achieved 86% A* to C. This is 20 % above the UK National Average*,and a 17 % increase from our 2008 results. Across the board our students performed above their expected grades enabling them to access their chosen course in Year 12 whether it is the IB Diploma, ‘A’ levels or other Post-16 courses. Individual student successes at IGCSE / GCSE to celebrate include:
ABHINAV MATHUR received 11 A*

Individual student successes at AS/A2 to celebrate include:
Year 13 A2 Results

One outstanding achievement to note was VINEET GUPTA who is only in Year 8 (12 Years Old) scoring maximum marks in both Core Mathematics papers achieving 2 ‘A’ grades at AS Level, having only decided to enter for the exam 2 weeks before the examination in June. I know we are going to be seeing great things from this young man in the future.
Overall, over 10% of students taking ‘AS’ and ‘A2’ examination in June 2009 achieved 95% or more on 1 or more unit papers. I am personally so proud of our students achievements, but equally proud of the dedicated team of teachers that have led them on their journey to success.
