YEAR 11s at Wade Deacon High School in Widnes returned to receive their eagerly anticipated exam results.
Another year of outstanding GCSE results awaited the students on Thursday, reflecting many months of determination, effort and support from dedicated teachers and families.
Over three-quarters of grades received were passes – grade 4 and above – with almost two-thirds of grades awarded exceeding grade 4, revealing the success of students across the entire curriculum and ensuring they have the best opportunities to progress into the next stage of education and training.
Two students surpassed all expectations, acquiring a full set of grade 9s – a remarkable accomplishment. The school also celebrates the achievements of SEND pupils, who have overcome significant challenges and still strove for academic success.
These results display the sustained support and high aspirations that define Wade Deacon High School and ensure that background is never a barrier to accomplishment, supporting the school's Commitment to Excellence.
Brendan Hesketh, executive principal at the Birchdale Road school, said: "We are delighted to celebrate the Class of 2026, whose achievements reflect both exceptional individual commitment and our shared culture of ambition. While examination results are important, they tell only part of the story.
“Behind every grade is a young person who has developed confidence, character and resilience.
“We celebrate not only academic success, but also the personal growth that prepares our pupils for the opportunities and challenges ahead."
