Wingate students have done better
than the English averages published recently and beaten all the
targets set for English schools. They even beat one for the year
2011.
Tony Garwood, Head of Seniors,
congratulated the students and teachers for their hard work. He
commented that students really benefited from the broad curriculum
offered in Years 7 to 9. A rich programme including National
Curriculum subjects, Spanish and sport all contributed to a feeling
of purpose during these formative years. ICT has seen a massive
investment and students are really making excellent use of the
facilities. He said that the school was developing the cultural side
to ensure that academic study was balanced by other activities.
Choir was an important part of the week at Key Stage 3 with everyone
capable of singing roped in. Each year there are opportunities to
take part in school productions. At Wingate, the aim is to produce
well rounded people who also do well at exams.
