GCSE results day 2020: Northampton ‘all-through’ school receives first ever results

An ‘all-through’ school in Northampton that caters for children aged 4-19 has received its first ever set of GCSE results.

Wootton Park School opened in 2016 and today (August 20), year 10 students found out how well they did in their early entry English Language, History and Geography.

The principal is praising the students for their ‘resilience and maturity’.

Principal Dan Rosser said: “Today, our founding cohort received their first GCSE results.

“Although we all imagined that out first GCSEs would take place in different circumstances, the learners have worked incredibly hard and fully deserve recognition for their achievement, resilience and maturity.

“Like all schools across the UK, the last few months have been difficult for the whole school community but we are really looking forward to welcoming all learners back in September.

“We have so much to look forward to including our new permanent £20 million building which will help us continue to deliver the highest possible standards of education for our learners and our plans to open our new sixth form in September 2021.

“I am incredibly proud of all our learners and would like to thank parents and carers for their support during these challenging times.”
