Both the Cabinet Member for Lifelong Learning, Cllr. Wyn Jones, and the Chief Education Officer, Mr R. Geraint James, have issued the following joint statement:
“Once again this year Conwy County Borough Advanced Level students have performed exceptionally well, maintaining the high level of success seen in previous years. Students scored an impressive 5.8 % for the new *A grade. A score of 23.2% was achieved by students for the higher grades *A – A, compared with the all Wales average of 24.4 percentage points – this is an improvement on the score achieved last year for students receiving an A grade. Again students scored an impressive 75.9% for the higher grades *A – C, which exceeded the all Wales average by 2.1 percentage points. An overall A – E pass rate of 97.8% was achieved, which exceeded the all Wales score.
These excellent results have been achieved as a result of hard work and dedication by the students themselves together with the committed and professional support of their teachers. We congratulate them all and wish all students every success in their future careers.
We also acknowledge and celebrate the achievement of our students in other examinations, which include AS examinations, vocational courses and the Welsh Baccalaureate, although an authority analysis of these results is not yet available.”
