‘100% GCSE Success for Early Birds'
At the Royal School we cater for students from a wide academic background and we are always looking to provide our pupils with the most appropriate level of entry in the examination environment.
This year Satish Bangar a Year 9 student gained an A* in Mathematics two years early. He will now progress to study Additional Mathematics and AS Mathematics over the next two years. If he is successful at that level he will have set himself up for taking A-levels in Mathematics and Further Mathematics in the future.
Year 11 student Elliot Craggs has gained an AS in Electronics to go with his 11 other GCSE's including 9 A*/A grades. Navdeep Rayat joined him with 11 GCSE's having taken History GCSE a year early in 2008.
Victoria Wills also gained History GCSE a year early in 2008 and has now added a further 9 GCSE's to her name this year. She is joined by students Sam Harrison, Nathan Hudson, Reiss Jones, Permider Sangha and Holly Adams who all achieved 10 GCSE grades at A*-C. James Marshall and Amarjit Singh gained 9 GCSE's at A*-C.
One fifth of all papers sat gained the prestigious A*/A grades and 45% of all papers sat gained grades A*-B.
This year saw the return to separate sciences for the top students with fantastic success with close to 100% A* - C for the students participating in the 3 subjects.
These results and those of all of the students are a credit to the School and the individuals involved. Congratulations to all of the students and staff.

OLYMPIC BRONZE TO RWS SWIMMER
Wednesday 25th August 2010 in General
Team GB swimmer Rachael Kelly (pictured), who is Sixth Form student at The Royal Wolverhampton School, won a bronze medal in the final of the women's 100m butterfly on Friday 20th August at the Singapore Sports School.
Rachael's time was 1.00.26 with the winner Liu Lan (china) on 59.67 and second Judit Ignacio (Spain) on 1.00.07.
Team GB swimmer Rachael Kelly reached the final of the women's 100m butterfly after successfully negotiating the heats and semi-final. Kelly qualified seventh fastest for the final and said: "I'm pleased to be in the final, but I would've liked to have secured a better lane. It's always hard from the outside lanes, but hopefully they won't see me coming".
The event is the 1st World Youth Olympics, and Rachael has been accompanied by The Royal Wolverhampton School's Head Coach Nathan Hilton in his capacity as one of the official Great Britain Swimming coaches .
Kelly got the evening of swimming action off to a flying start with bronze in the women's 100m butterfly final in a time of 1:00.26. Kelly said: "I had been saying all week that I was waiting for the 100m final so it feels amazing to get a medal. I haven't swum spectacularly well throughout the week, but I have been improving and so to have got a medal at the end of it feels fantastic."
