Wilmington Grammar Schools GCSE Results 2023: Press Release
Wilmington Grammar School for Boys – Head Teacher Mr Stuart Harrington
Following fantastic A Level success, Wilmington Grammar School for Boys can now also celebrate tremendous GCSE results. The performance of students in the first full-fat GCSE examinations since 2019 is remarkable and continues to reward student hard work and the school’s unrelenting focus on high standards of work and behaviour.
Mr Harrington, Head Teacher, comments “To achieve results that are almost exactly the same as last year (if not slightly better), against a backdrop of Nationwide grade depression is excellent. The students in Year 11 must celebrate these fine results in the knowledge that they have demonstrated exactly what can be achieved through hard work and cheerful cooperation. The students should be incredibly proud of their individual and collective achievements. We are very proud of them.”
A number of students achieved a full suite of grade 8s and 9s- an outstanding feat, achieved by very few students nationwide: Shane Scoble (who achieved 9s in every subject!), Inioluwa Lawal, Kaloyan Velikov and George Baldwin. There were also several students who achieved well beyond their expected grades. The individual achievements of every student in this year must not be underestimated.
Mr Harrington’s final thoughts, “The challenges faced by these students have been significant. The fact that the results are so good demonstrates what can be achieved by a motivated group of young people who are willing to work alongside their expert teachers to do their very best. Well done to all involved and I am looking forward to what they achieve at WG6, our vibrant Sixth Form.”

My other son also got his 1st choice offer to study computer science in Birmingham – so we’re thanking God and painting the town red for the next few days! Many thanks once again. And we are also very grateful to the school and all staff of the school for all the support given to Inioluwa over the last 5 years.”
Kaloyan Velokov (pictured below) commented “A HUGE thank you to all my teachers – I am infinitely grateful for all the support and encouragement I have received.”
George Baldwin added “I’m absolutely over the moon! And I’m looking forward to starting my A Levels at WG6”
Wilmington Grammar School for Girls – Head Teacher, Mrs Michelle Lawson.
In a year when students have faced the return to pre-covid examinations Wilmington Grammar School for Girls are celebrating some fantastic GCSE results from their students. Michelle Lawson, Head Teacher said “The results this year are a testament to the resilience and determination of our students working with our superb staff, together with the incredible support given by their families. I could not be prouder of their achievements or more thankful for the incredible community that underpins it.’ The average grade for students builds on last year’s success with the highest percentage of Grade 9 and 8 that the school has seen, with nearly a third of grades being at grade 8 or above. We have some notably outstanding achievements from Nalia Huggins, Christabel Onuigbo, Rachel Chance, Yakshana Nareshkumar, Gracie Pye, Theo Waters with all results at Grade 9 or 8. We are full of admiration for this cohort who have been fantastic throughout their school journey and I would like to thank their teachers and families for their support and commitment. I am really looking forward to seeing them continue to excel as they move into WG6, our Sixth Form.
