In addition to our successful results across the board there are many outstanding individual success stories. Cristina Stanescu, for example, joined Woodside High towards the end of Year 10 having moved to the UK from Romania. Despite speaking very little English, a year later she has achieved 7 GCSEs, including four grade 7s, two grade 6s and an outstanding Grade 9 in Spanish. “All my teachers at Woodside High have been so supportive and given me extra help. All the staff and students made me feel at home here and helped me to do well.” Cristina Stanescu.
“I am incredibly proud of our students’ outstanding progress and achievements. Our students’ results are a testament to their hard work and commitment, as well as the dedication of all at Woodside High School – students, parents and carers, staff and governors. My heartfelt thanks and congratulations to all.”
