Academic Results
Excellence in Education
Wrekin College is proud to have a broad academic range, and of our commitment to academic excellence.
At Wrekin College we are both proudly non-selective and proudly ambitious. Our pupils achieve exceptional outcomes, not just in the classroom but in the lives they go on to lead. Academic results matter and so does the context: every grade reflects hard work, expert teaching and a personalised approach that nurtures curiosity, confidence and potential.
We are especially proud of our outstanding value-added performance — the measurable progress each pupil makes beyond what they are expected to achieve based on their starting point. Pupils at Wrekin routinely achieve more academically than they would in another school, unlocking opportunities they may never have thought possible.
Whether a pupil aspires to Oxbridge, university, a degree apprenticeship, employment or entrepreneurship, we support them to thrive on their own terms. Our results are measured not just by exam success but by the transformative journeys our students take — stepping into the future with the skills, values and self-belief to make their mark.
Results highlights - 2025
A level and BTEC results 2025
Wrekin College celebrated another highly impressive set of A Level and BTEC results as 87 per cent of students confirmed their first choice university - above the national average.
Teenagers were given confirmed places at some of the UK’s most prestigious universities including Oxford, Edinburgh, Durham and Manchester.
Wrekin’s Deputy Head (Academic) Ben Smith said they were delighted for students, adding that this year’s results clearly reflect their dedication and commitment to achieving their potential.
“There have been some outstanding performances with several students achieving either an A* or A grade in each of the subjects they study,” he added.
“We are also very pleased that many more have secured a place at a top Russell Group university to read some of the most competitive subjects such as Law, Mathematics, Philosophy and Geography. Two of our students will also be joining highly regarded apprenticeship schemes.”
More than three quarters were A*-C grades, an increase on last year, with almost a quarter at grade A or A* or above.
GCSE results 2025
Wrekin sees another year of successful GCSE results with almost 40 per cent at the top grades.
The school surpassed its performance in 2019, which was before the pandemic disrupted grades, for the number of results between 9-7 (the old A*-A grades).
The pass rate, Grades 4 and above, at Wrekin remains consistent at around 90 per cent, a strong performance from a school which is proud of welcoming pupils of all abilities and an increase of more than four per cent compared to 2019.
“These results demonstrate that Wrekin is extremely effective in supporting the most able to achieve at the highest levels at GCSE while also enabling the majority of students to achieve or, in many cases, exceed, their academic potential,” said Deputy Head Academic Ben Smith.
“We are extremely proud of this group of students who were in year six when the pandemic struck and were also impacted in their first year of senior school but have embraced all the support and opportunities available to them to go on to approach their GCSE exams as a positive experience and a key part of their learning journey.”
“Almost 80 per cent of grades achieved were at grade 5 or above. A grade 5 is considered to be a ‘strong pass'. This reflects both the high quality of learning that is taking place throughout the school as well as the determination of our dedicated teaching staff to ensure that all pupils, irrespective of their academic ability, are able to achieve a strong set of GCSEs.”
The highest eight performing Fifth Form students all achieved an average GCSE points score that was 8.00 or higher.
