Spalding Grammar School 2024: Outgoing headteacher celebrates individual successes

Hard work has paid off for Spalding Grammar School pupils who have picked up their GCSE results.

Pupils enjoyed tucking into a celebratory ice-cream at the Priory Road site after being notified of their results.

Outgoing headmaster Steven Wilkinson, who is leaving the school to take up a new challenge outside the county following a ’good’ Ofsted report, has congratulated students.

He said: “My last results day is about celebrating individual success, and reflecting on what students at Spalding Grammar School are able to achieve.

“I am happy to be bowing out on what is pleasing set of grades for many students across many subjects.

“Our top performer was Harry McDougall, who achieved at least a grade 8 across all 11 of his subjects.

“There were an additional seven students who achieved at least eight grades 9/8; nearly one in every five grades was a 8 or 9.

“I wish all the students going forward to their students in the sixth form, and elsewhere, the very best of luck.”

Rupert Miller, 16, of Spalding, will be returning to the sixth form in September after achieving a fantastic nine grade 8s.

He said: “I am really pleased with my results and it is better than I expected.”

Rupert was planning to celebrate his results with a family meal later.

He will be studying to study art, business and design technology at A-level.

Crowland teenager Toby Hart, 16, had achieved two grade 9s in PE and history along with five grade 8s, a grade 7 and a grade 6.

He said: “I was surprised with my history result but I am more than happy with my PE grade.”

Toby will be studying A-levels in PE, technology and maths.
