We are very proud of the GCSE results achieved by our students in 2019. They have worked incredibly hard and once again Wellfield continues to be a high attaining school with results across the curriculum above national standards.
78% of our students achieved a pass in both English and a Maths. This was well above the national average and the top result in all Durham secondary schools. The English results were very impressive with 82% of the students gaining Grade 4 or higher and 60% achieving Grade 5 or higher. The Maths results were equally impressive with 83% of the students gaining Grade 4 or higher and 57% achieving Grade 5 or higher. Once again, our maths department is one of the top performing maths departments in the county with a progress score of +0.36. Attainment in Maths at Wellfield is outstanding…
However, we know a number of our Level 2 qualifications have not been included in the DFE October checking exercise. This will be updated in January for publication in April. We anticipate our final score to be in the region of +0.3 which should then give us an Above Average score for the Progress 8 measure.
