A long-standing tradition at Woolwich Polytechnic School for Girls, at the end of the new Year 7s first day here all our staff line the exit gate to ‘clap out’ the students and to celebrate them joining our school and our community and for completing Day 1!

A huge well done to all our Year 7s as they start their journey with us at WPSfG, we are so excited to watch these students grow, learn, and achieve ensuring ‘Success for Everyone’.

It is with tremendous pride that Woolwich Polytechnic Sixth Form, rated ‘Outstanding’ by Ofsted, celebrates the success of the Class of 2023.

47% of our students received A* - B grades, with a significant number continuing their academic pathways at Russell Group universities, including Cambridge, Edinburgh, and Warwick amongst others.

Head of School, Mr Tom Lawrence states, "Our class of 2023 have done themselves proud and nearly all have achieved their first-place offers or high-end apprenticeships, securing an average grade that matches 2019 and 2022. We have many students again going to illustrious Russell Group universities. The results day itself has been a great day of rightful celebration for staff and students. All these enormous achievements have been made against a backdrop of significantly tougher marking, particularly at the top end."

This sentiment is shared by Mr Tim Plumb, CEO of PolyMAT, "After such hard work through challenging times, it was fantastic to see so many students with happy faces, being rewarded with progression to university and apprenticeships. This is why we all work so hard, to change lives and ensure ‘Success for Everyone’ that will last for many years to come." 

Ms Hannah Elliott, Head of Sixth Form, comments: “I am so proud of all our students here at Woolwich Poly. Each of them has shown resilience and determination in the face of adversity. Year on year, our results echo our school ethos of ‘Tomorrow's Leaders’ demonstrating the dedication and commitment of the students themselves, as well as our hardworking staff and supportive wider community. We look forward to seeing the future successes of our students as our Sixth Form expands next year to accommodate Woolwich Polytechnic School for Girls.”

Dear Parent/Carer,

We are a service working with your school to support the emotional wellbeing and mental health of your children. Some of you may have already been in touch or heard of us through your school’s Head of year/ teacher/inclusion lead/SENco or counsellor.

We will continue to offer our service throughout the summer holidays and wanted to encourage all parents to get in touch with us if you have any concerns regarding your child’s emotional wellbeing and mental health at this difficult time. Interventions will be offered face to face at High point house at Shooters Hill or virtually via MS Teams whichever works best for the young person.

We offer 6-8 sessions of CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) based support for child/ young person. We offer Adolescent anxiety intervention and/or Low mood intervention.

If you have noticed that your child seems more worried than usual, reluctant to engage in their everyday activities, having difficulties with their behaviour or noticed a change in their sleep/eating habits which could be related to emotions and mood, then we may be able to help.

To speak to one of our team about how we might be able to support you, please email the address below:

Yours sincerely,

'Celebration evening is my favourite event of the school year because I love getting the opportunity to really celebrate our students achievements in a big way!  It's lovely to see all the different prizes that the departments put together for our subject winners and to see the excitement on the students faces when they receive them.  I'm always especially proud of those students that go above and beyond to win our special prizes too, they truly are special and mean so much to the students who win them.  Our guest speakers this year were outstanding, and we're so grateful to have had them come along and share their stories to further inspire our students to achieve great things personally and academically.  We are so proud of all our winners!'
