Key Stage 4 Results

We are delighted that our students have achieved outstanding exam success. Our overall Attainment 8 is expected to be above national levels once the validated data is released later in the year. There is no progress 8 data available for 2025 results, as students did not sit their SATS during the pandemic.

All of our KS4 and KS5 results can be accessed on the DfE Performance Tables website which is available here: Whitley Bay High School
