This year's exceptional results reflect the hard work, dedication and resilience of students, supported by committed staff and families throughout their educational journey. The school has seen improvements across all headline measures, with outcomes continuing to be significantly above national averages. Among the many outstanding achievements, students secured an impressive 75 Grade 9s across the school, demonstrating the exceptional academic standards being reached by Woodhey students. Particular cause for celebration is the remarkable success of the school's most vulnerable learners. Yet again, students with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) and those eligible for the Pupil Premium have made significant gains, reflecting Woodhey's commitment to ensuring that every young person can achieve their full potential regardless of background or circumstance. Two students, Adam and Edward, achieved the extraordinary accomplishment of securing Grade 9s in every subject, placing them among the very highest-performing students nationally and showcasing the outstanding opportunities and support available at Woodhey High School. Headteacher Mr Watson praised the achievements of this year's cohort: "We are incredibly proud of the achievements of all our students. These results are a testament to their hard work, determination and resilience over the course of their studies. To achieve our best ever attainment results whilst also seeing improvements across every measure is a fantastic accomplishment for our whole school community. "It is especially pleasing to see the significant progress made by our most vulnerable students, including those with SEND and those eligible for Pupil Premium support. At Woodhey, we believe every student deserves the opportunity to succeed, and these results demonstrate the impact of that commitment. "Special congratulations must go to Adam and Edward for their exceptional achievement of attaining Grade 9s in every subject. They should be immensely proud of what they have accomplished. "These results show that hard work truly does pay off. We wish all of our students every success as they move on to the next stage of their education and careers, and we look forward to seeing all that they achieve in the future, remembering that they will always be a part of #TeamWoodhey." As students celebrate their success and prepare for the next chapter of their educational journeys, Woodhey High School remains committed to providing an ambitious, inclusive and supportive environment where every young person can thrive. Congratulations to the Class of 2026 on a truly outstanding set of results. ### Results\_26 [![](https://files.schudio.com/woodhey-high-school/images/gallery/results-26/0bb845af-9688-482a-85d4-91fc5606783d.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/woodhey-high-school/images/gallery/results-26/0bb845af-9688-482a-85d4-91fc5606783d.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/woodhey-high-school/images/gallery/results-26/1ba02d2a-3ff9-4d57-bd54-b97b81cfe3bb.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/woodhey-high-school/images/gallery/results-26/1ba02d2a-3ff9-4d57-bd54-b97b81cfe3bb.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/woodhey-high-school/images/gallery/results-26/2d0127b1-f949-465a-a3fa-53717999f6fc.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/woodhey-high-school/images/gallery/results-26/2d0127b1-f949-465a-a3fa-53717999f6fc.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/woodhey-high-school/images/gallery/results-26/4c3592f4-8a7c-4054-8621-3b4ebd20f4aa.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/woodhey-high-school/images/gallery/results-26/4c3592f4-8a7c-4054-8621-3b4ebd20f4aa.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/woodhey-high-school/images/gallery/results-26/5dc09e3a-00a1-4295-a0c7-50e90a916c13.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/woodhey-high-school/images/gallery/results-26/5dc09e3a-00a1-4295-a0c7-50e90a916c13.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/woodhey-high-school/images/gallery/results-26/6f0f7b82-5a37-46f7-b862-6d0594e553bd.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/woodhey-high-school/images/gallery/results-26/6f0f7b82-5a37-46f7-b862-6d0594e553bd.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/woodhey-high-school/images/gallery/results-26/9e0b107f-7611-42b5-a92a-949aaee3d2ec.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/woodhey-high-school/images/gallery/results-26/9e0b107f-7611-42b5-a92a-949aaee3d2ec.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/woodhey-high-school/images/gallery/results-26/65db7706-da9c-453a-b25c-a877ef1b8e87.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/woodhey-high-school/images/gallery/results-26/65db7706-da9c-453a-b25c-a877ef1b8e87.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/woodhey-high-school/images/gallery/results-26/94d4070c-c1b1-43ee-a13e-784806439e53.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/woodhey-high-school/images/gallery/results-26/94d4070c-c1b1-43ee-a13e-784806439e53.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/woodhey-high-school/images/gallery/results-26/8076ab0a-da41-4887-a560-21b496020f6f.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/woodhey-high-school/images/gallery/results-26/8076ab0a-da41-4887-a560-21b496020f6f.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/woodhey-high-school/images/gallery/results-26/11698e17-93fa-4dcd-b1e4-fddcdf469b36.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/woodhey-high-school/images/gallery/results-26/11698e17-93fa-4dcd-b1e4-fddcdf469b36.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/woodhey-high-school/images/gallery/results-26/b4e8c7a1-f412-461e-b315-b35f012aa09c.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/woodhey-high-school/images/gallery/results-26/b4e8c7a1-f412-461e-b315-b35f012aa09c.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/woodhey-high-school/images/gallery/results-26/b73589df-d870-4167-8a07-3b0502538b7b.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/woodhey-high-school/images/gallery/results-26/b73589df-d870-4167-8a07-3b0502538b7b.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/woodhey-high-school/images/gallery/results-26/bff07c30-4d33-4907-9747-a6f759321e15.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/woodhey-high-school/images/gallery/results-26/bff07c30-4d33-4907-9747-a6f759321e15.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/woodhey-high-school/images/gallery/results-26/c5e22136-4031-4ccb-9d65-afd1fb0e1427.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/woodhey-high-school/images/gallery/results-26/c5e22136-4031-4ccb-9d65-afd1fb0e1427.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/woodhey-high-school/images/gallery/results-26/c386f5be-42ea-4824-96c2-5e08d25f82c1.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/woodhey-high-school/images/gallery/results-26/c386f5be-42ea-4824-96c2-5e08d25f82c1.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/woodhey-high-school/images/gallery/results-26/c9312046-987e-4bb1-9876-30eea2bedfbe.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/woodhey-high-school/images/gallery/results-26/c9312046-987e-4bb1-9876-30eea2bedfbe.jpg) [ Take Your Child to Work Day for Year 8 and Year 9!](https://woodhey.bury.sch.uk/news/2026-07-07-take-your-child-to-work-day-for-year-8-and-year-9) [Year 7 Make Lifelong Memories at Kibblestone ](https://woodhey.bury.sch.uk/news/2026-09-30-year-7-make-lifelong-memories-at-kibblestone) ### About Us -
