York's Largest Secondary School Celebrates Outstanding GCSE Results as Students Shine
On Thursday, August 20, 2026, Wollaston School announced its GCSE Class of 2026 results, with over 63% of students achieving a Grade 4 or above in both English and mathematics.
Sustained hard work, resilience, and determination from students, supported by staff and families, underpinned these strong outcomes, which school leaders framed as rewards for post-16 preparation.
High marks were recorded across subjects including biology, chemistry, and art, with student Amy Goddridge achieving a grade 9 in art and top performer William Catling contributing to the school's strong profile.
Many students met entry requirements to progress into the school's Sixth Form in September, while others are exploring diverse post-16 pathways including college courses and apprenticeship placements.
Positioned as a regional hub for post-16 education, Wollaston actively welcomes outside applicants alongside Year 11 students entering September, extending its academic reach beyond its own graduating cohort.
