Exam Results and Leavers' Destinations

We are very proud of our students and their achievements after the last few very challenging years. We pride ourselves on having a varied and full curriculum, and we have experienced great success across a range of subject areas.

The majority of students have taken up their first place offers at university and we are so proud of every one of them.  Ten students have taken up places at Oxbridge, and five students have places for medicine, as well as Art Foundation courses and apprenticeships.

The varied and exciting pathways and subjects our students have taken is definitely a cause for celebration.

Waldegrave School was rated Outstanding by Ofsted in 2018.  Our examination results are excellent and reflect the work of committed staff and students.  This success has placed the school on the Sunday Times Parent Power list for many years and in 2016 we were named Comprehensive school of the year.  

We pride ourselves on having a varied and full curriculum, with students achieving success across a range of subject areas, enabling them to progress to a diverse range of HE courses, apprenticeships and careers. 

We are particularly proud of our results this year, our first set of public examinations since 2019.  Please see further details are below.
