WCSA students are jubilant after another set of sustained fantastic GCSE results - the best results for many years.
Among some excellent performances, nearly 1 in 5 students (17%) achieved 9-7 grades while 71% scored 9-4 grades. And some 56% of students achieved the old measure of five 9-4 grades including English and Maths.

This week I want to write about attendance. We really thank you for all your help in ensuring our students attend as often as is possible.
This is on my mind as I was reading about how the Aussie Flu / Winter Sickness Bug – call it what you will – has affected so many people across the country and especially our region. Of course, it is always the old that suffer the most when they face this sort of illness. However, there has been a record amount of illness amongst school-aged children (both primary and secondary) nationally.

Hi my name is Louise and I have a child in year 7 and I am also a member of the Academy Council.
I wanted to write to reflect on my first year with being involved with WCSA, as we near the summer holidays, and gosh this year has gone so quickly.
I remember (as you all probably do) when my daughter joined WCSA last September, as she moved from a school where she had been for 8 years and knew everything and everybody to a huge secondary school where she was the youngest and knew nothing. Children are very adaptable though and she soon settled in.

It looks like the forecast is set for the sunshine to continue next week so students are allowed to wear their PE kits to school next week if they so wish.
Many students came in their uniform last week also and this is absolutely fine too. Please remember that we do not allow trainers unless students are in their PE kit.

Now, for those who have not already given up reading after seeing the words ‘Health and Safety’, thank you!
As you would naturally expect, Health and Safety is of the upmost importance at WCSA. I am delighted that as it’s a key part of my role (along with every member of staff) – it allows me to make a difference every day to WCSA students and staff.

Each lesson, staff are encouraged to give students as many achievement points as possible. Points are issued for reasons such as being on task, excellent engagement and excellent effort. Students’ names are written on the Learning Stars board, to highlight and recognise their success in gaining these points. They are often keen to get their names on the board and achieve as many points as they can. The number of achievement points each student has achieved is shared with them each week during tutor time, so that they then record the data in their planner.
