Students in Year 13 at Woodkirk Academy are celebrating once again this year, which marks the fourth successive year of higher outcomes.  Once again, this year’s outcomes represent the highest achieved at Woodkirk Academy, building on the successes of 2024 and 2025, which placed the school in the top five Sixth Form providers in the city. 

Principal Mr Tim Jones said “We are, once again, delighted by these outcomes and the students and staff at Woodkirk Academy should be proud of the grades that have been attained.  They have worked incredibly hard, and have shown a great deal of determination and resilience.  I wish all of our students the very best for the future; I look forward to hearing about their ongoing successes.”

Assistant Principal and Director of Sixth Form Mrs Kathryn Clarke said “For the huge majority, the outcomes reflect the outstanding work ethic that has been demonstrated and I am delighted that so many have successfully secured a place at their first-choice destination.  Well done to them all and good luck as they move on to pastures new.  We can’t wait to welcome next year’s cohort to Woodkirk Academy Sixth Form.”

We are excited to reach another important milestone in the School Rebuilding Programme.  The planning application is now available to view.  The new facilities will provide a modern learning environment for our young people and support the long-term future of the academy.  The new build will help deliver improved quality of education, better sports facilities, better facilities for community use as well as improved safeguarding of the site.  

Following the public consultation event, the final proposals have been updated to respond to comments received regarding matters of access, drainage, construction works and all-weather pitch facilities.  This information can be viewed on the below link.

 Comments of support can be submitted through the planning portal before 13 July.
