WGS celebrates success of Ukranian Student
Wolverhampton Grammar School is proud to announce the outstanding GCSE achievements of Ariana, a Ukrainian student who fled the war in her home country two years ago.
Ariana's remarkable academic journey and resilience have culminated in outstanding results in her GCSE exams, where she achieved 9 in History, 8 in Art, and 7 in Biology and Maths (equivalent to A*-A). Ariana also gained 5 in English as a Second Language.
After arriving in the UK with limited English, she has not only excelled in her GCSEs but has also integrated fully into the school community and taken part in several extra-curricular activities including the school Dance Shows and Art Exhibitions. These exceptional achievements are a testament to her resilience, dedication, and passion for learning.
Reflecting on her time at WGS, Ariana said:
When I first arrived in the UK, I was anxious about starting at a new school in a different country. However, Wolverhampton Grammar School welcomed me with open arms and provided me with all the support I needed. The teachers and students have been so kind and understanding, making me feel at home. I am truly grateful for the encouragement and opportunities I have received, and I am excited to continue my education in Sixth Form.
