Results and Performance

Level 2 Results Day 2026

We are all immensely proud of the hard work and dedication of our staff and Year 11s which has paid off in some excellent results. Staff and students have worked tirelessly towards achieving these outcomes this year, navigating rapid change together as Westbourne continues to improve.

Most students achieved the results needed for their planned next steps as they approach sixth form, college or the workplace, with one outstanding performance from Alex Scripcariu who achieved 10 grade 9’s and one grade 8. Well done Alex! Other students who achieved well included Nathan Martin, Soraya Murracas, Oliver Nadrowski and George Arbuckle who achieved top grades in a wide variety of subjects.

Students in Computer Science, Spanish, Religious Studies, Triple Science, health & social care and history led the way this year with strong outcomes in each area.

Mr Higgon, Principal of Westbourne Academy said:

On behalf of everyone at Westbourne Academy I would like to congratulate our students for achieving such fantastic GCSE results. This was the first set of public exams of their academic careers, after they missed their Year 6 SATS due to the pandemic, which makes it an even more significant achievement. Their outcomes are a testament to the effort they have put in over the past five years, and I would like to thank all of the staff at Westbourne Academy for their hard work in supporting them on this journey, as well as their parents and carers for helping them at home. We wish all our students well as they begin the next stage of their lives, and hope that they keep in touch to keep us informed about their future successes. 

 

GCSE Results Summary

*these results are not comparable as results were generated from Centre Assessed and Teacher Assessed grades

Our GCSE results reflect the inclusivity of Westbourne in several ways.

An inclusive academy is one that creates an environment where all pupils, regardless of their background, abilities, or needs, are given the opportunity and support to achieve their full potential.  It is part of our vision where… we are “an inclusive academy. We support all students, regardless of starting point, to achieve their potential.”

Our results, fluctuate due to a diverse yearly cohort and whilst our latest results above once again show, along with the graphic, that those who attend at least 95% continue to excel, for other pupils’ success may look different:

• Some pupils might need extra support with disabilities or additional needs and are provided with the necessary accommodations to take their exams on a level playing field with their peers to perform better than they might have without it.
• Other pupils might have challenging backgrounds and therefore need targeted support and creating an inclusive and caring academy environment, these pupils can have a good chance to succeed in their education and moving onto the next post 16 stage.

In summary, GCSE results can be a reflection of the inclusivity of an academy when they show that all pupils, regardless of their background or abilities, have the opportunity and support to achieve their full potential. It’s not just about overall results but also about ensuring that no student is left behind and that disparities are reduced or eliminated.

It is only human nature to make direct comparisons with other schools and it is important to note that were we to remove from the statistics the pupils described above our outcome data would be highly competitive with other schools.
