 Another hugely successful year for our A-Level students at Great Wyrley High School. We’re very proud of all our students who, along with the staff, have worked extremely hard to achieve their successes. We are delighted that at A2 our pass rate remains high at 97% and over a third of these passes were graded at A or B.

Some outstanding results for our A2 students include; Jodie Bird A*A*A, Sam Morris A*A*A, Cameron White A*AA,  Sophie Hardy A*A* C, Alysha Davis A and 3 Distinctions, Jordan Arblaster AA and Distinction.

At AS-Level there was also alot of success, in particular; Sam Layland AAAA, Emily Jenkins AAAA, Josh Pearce AAAB.

A reminder to take photographs of your HUM BUG in a place of geographical, historical or religious importance!  These can be local, national or international! Bring your printed off photos to your Geography, History or RE teacher in September and get VIVOS (a school reward)!  Take as many photos as you like as each one will get a reward - but the HUM BUG must be in the photo! Have a good Hum Bug holiday!

The following students have received a headteacher commendation for the best travel journals during humanities theme week:

If your child is eligible for Free School Meals, an online application form is now available at www.staffordshire.gov.uk/freeschoolmeals which removes the need to print and scan/email/post the form and so should make the application process easier and quicker for both schools and parents. The paper form is still available from the same webpage if required, or you can obtain a copy from the School Office.

This half term Walters House students have been involved in charity work for Save Our Soldiers and have been making morale boxes up to send to serving British troops abroad.

Students have risen to the challenge and have collected items for these SOS boxes in their form groups, made up the boxes and these are now ready to be collected and sent to our troops abroad.

The boxes have included a wide variety of items, including, stationary so the soldiers can write to their loved ones back home, sweets to cheer them up, hand sanitizer to keep them germ free, and toiletries to keep them clean, to name but a few items. Some students have even put in a letter or signed a card to let the soldiers know that they are appreciated.

Special mention goes to 7D for their effort in this work as every member of their form group took an active part in the collection of items for the SOS boxes.

In all 23 boxes have been made.

Our thanks go to all our house students who have taken part in this event.
