A Huge Congratulations to Grace Forster

We have recently celebrated the academic achievement of our 2020 year 11 school leavers after returning to school following the recent Covid19 closure. Outstanding attendance was also recognised with a number of students achieving 100% attendance during year 11.

Grace’s achievement of being the only student from the class of 2020 to achieve a 100% attendance record from year 7 to 11 deserves particular recognition. Not missing one day during her secondary school career is certainly a cause for celebration. In addition to Grace’s perfect attendance record she also excelled academically achieving 10 GCSE’s at higher grades.

Grace’s commitment to her education is recognised not only by Wellfield but also by Durham County Council. Grace was one of only 32 pupils in County Durham in 2020 who achieved a 100% attendance record during secondary or primary school. Her achievement was recognised with a 100% Secondary School Attendance certificate from John Pearce, the Corporate Director of Children and Young People’s Services in County Durham.

We are very proud of Grace’s achievements at Wellfield. Grace is currently studying Accountancy, Business and History at Durham 6th Form College and we wish her every success for the future.
