Students were beaming with joy on receiving their GCSE results this morning at Kenilworth School and The Westwood Academy, Kenilworth Multi Academy Trust has said.

At Kenilworth School and Sixth Form, 79% of students this summer achieved GCSE pass grades of 9–4 in both English and Maths, while 61% achieved strong passes of 9–5 in English and Maths.

The percentage of students achieving top grades of 7 and above in English and Maths was 22.5%, a slight improvement on 2025, when it was 21.9%.

Significantly, reflecting the school's commitment to inclusion, students on the SEND register achieved the school's highest percentage of top grades at 9–7 in English and Maths, at 16%.

This represents a steady improvement for students with special educational needs, including those with EHCPs, compared with 2024, when this measure was 6.8%.

The Head of School, Nick Mummery, said: "I would like to congratulate the Year 11 students on their great GCSE results and, in particular, those students with special educational needs, who have done especially well this year."

At The Westwood Academy, the percentage of students achieving GCSE pass grades of 9–4, including both English and Maths, increased from 57.8% in 2025 to 64.2% in 2026, while those achieving strong pass grades of 9–5 in both English and Maths rose significantly from 35.4% last year to 46.5% this summer.

The proportion of students achieving the highest grades of 7 and above in English and Maths increased significantly from 15.0% to 28.3% this summer.

Two students in Year 11, Adam and Samin, received an extraordinary number of top grade 9 passes, achieving 11 and 9 respectively.

The Headteacher, Deborah Talbot, said: "The Westwood Academy is delighted to celebrate a fantastic set of results and the achievements of all our students.

"All key measures have seen improvements since 2025, reflecting the hard work, determination and commitment of our students and staff.

"We are incredibly proud of all our students, whose achievements make this a fantastic set of results for The Westwood Academy."

The CEO, Hayden Abbott, said: "Students in both of our schools in KMAT have worked incredibly hard and they fully deserve this success.

"I would like to take this opportunity to thank all members of our school community: students, staff, parents and carers, community volunteers, governors and trustees. Everyone plays a unique yet significant role in the success of our students.

"I am immensely proud to see members of our schools and wider community united in their dedication and commitment to provide the best education and enrichment provision for personal development, preparing students for the next steps in their education or careers."
