In this era of curriculum change we are particularly pleased with the outstanding achievement of girls in the new GCSE examinations.  Grade 9 is the highest grade allocated, reserved for the very highest performances.  Across the three new specifications (English, English Literature and Mathematics) no fewer than 115 grade 9s were awarded at Woodford.  Eight girls achieved straight A* (including equivalents) across their ten subjects and forty had straight A* / A grades.  Results in Triple Science, for which the whole cohort is entered, were impressive and indeed performance across the whole curriculum provided plenty to celebrate.
