Dear Parents/Carers
As you may be aware, the week beginning 11th November is National Anti-Bullying Week. We will be doing various activities with the students throughout the week, culminating in ‘Wear Something Blue’ day on Friday 15th November to raise awareness and money for bullying support charities.
We ask that students contribute £1 on the day and wear an item or combination of items that are blue from the following list:
Students will still need to be in full school uniform with their blue item of clothing and will not be permitted to have blue nails or make up/face paint.
For further information on Anti-bullying Week, please visit bullying.co.uk or anti-bullyingalliance.org.uk.
Staff will also be taking part and contributing to this event, and we will be sharing our activities and photos on the school website and social media pages.
We hope that you and your daughter(s) will support us in our promotion of such an important charity.
Yours faithfully,
Mrs Z Drysdale
PD Co-ordinator

What should I do if my daughter is unwell and can’t come to school:
Report this on the study bugs app. The school office staff are unable to take absences over the phone, all absences must be reported via Study Bugs.

Our A Level Results Day video for 2024 is now live on our YouTube Channel – PolyMAT Schools!
Woolwich Polytechnic Sixth Form, rated ‘Outstanding’ by Ofsted, is proud to congratulate the Class of 2024 on their fantastic A-Level Results!
60% of our students achieved A*-B grades, with students securing their offers to Cambridge, Warwick, UCL and Newcastle, amongst others.
Headteacher, Mr Tom Lawrence states, “Our class of 2024 have done themselves proud, achieving some of the best key stage 5 results that we have seen, including those years before the pandemic. Our headline figures show an almost perfect 99.2% pass-rate, and our average grade is an impressive B grade. For those grades that really matter to get into university, A*-C grades, our overall percentages hold up very well indeed with our students achieving at least 86% C grades, 60% B grades, and 23% A and A* grades. These grades mean that the overwhelming majority of our students will access their first-choice universities and high-end apprenticeships; few have had to worry about clearing; many more will be accessing the illustrious Russell Group universities. The results day itself has been a great day of rightful celebration for staff and students.”
Ms Susan Principe, Deputy Head of Sixth Form and Head of Year 13 comments, “It is an honour to celebrate with the students and staff after all the hard work that has been put into place in preparation for this day. Year on year, I am amazed at what our students achieve, and the Class of 2024 did not disappoint. ‘Proud’ is not a strong enough word to describe how I feel about being part of this community and I cannot wait to welcome our largest cohort to date as we expand our Sixth Form in September. Our students are truly ‘Tomorrow’s Leaders’.”

We are thrilled to announce the release of our first ever GCSE Results Day video for 2024 on our YouTube Channel – PolyMAT Schools!
The summer of 2024 will be forever remembered as a significant moment in our school’s history as our founding cohort received their GCSE results. Over the past five years, we have evolved into a school dedicated to embodying our vision of ‘Success for Everyone’ in everything we do.
Over 20% of our cohort have achieved at least 5 GCSEs at the top grades of 7-9 with 43% students leaving with a grade 7+ in English. Moreover, in some option subjects, over 30% of students achieved a 7+. For English and Maths, 78% of the cohort have achieved a 4+ in both subjects.
Ms Williams, Headteacher, says: “I am so pleased to see that our girls will leave school with qualifications that will open up doors to them and enable them to continue on their journey of success. Everyone has played their part in making this possible and I want to thank our students, staff and families for making this year a success.”.
The commitment of our passionate students and staff has paid off: the hard work, determination, and resilience demonstrated by everyone in our school community have resulted in GCSE results that we are immensely proud of.
Watch now!
