Stunning KS5 Results ]]> https://www.westlands.org.uk/news/?pid=1&nid=5&storyid=85 We are incredibly proud of all our Key Stage 5 students.  Their excellent work ethic and resilience have led to brilliant grades, with a significant increase in the number of A*s and A grades at A Level and 66% of our Level 3 BTec students achieving a Distinction or Distinction*.

Over two thirds of the cohort are headed to university and 100% of them were accepted for their first-choice, including 11 students who have chosen a prestigious Russell Group university. 

We would like to personally congratulate all our dedicated and hardworking students on their excellent results and wish them all the very best as they embark on their university courses, apprenticeships and future careers.

We will be reminding our students on the first day back that if their phone is seen, heard or used during the school day (including break and lunch time), it will be confiscated and kept in the office until a parent/carer is able to come and collect it.  The best way for our students to ensure they never have the phone confiscated, is to simply turn their phone off at the start of the day and leave it in their bag until the school day ends. 

Our students did brilliantly during the practice sessions last term and we are confident that everyone will adjust quickly to our new expectations.
