Students at Wilsthorpe School are celebrating after receiving their GCSE results today, marking the culmination of their hard work throughout secondary school. This year, over 70% of students achieved a grade 4 or higher in both English and maths, and a quarter of all entries achieved a Grade 7, 8 or 9.
