The Cabinet Member for Lifelong Learning, Cllr Wyn Jones, and the Chief Education Officer, Mr R. Geraint James, have issued the following joint statement:
“Again this year, Conwy students have performed well in the GCSE examinations, with an overall pass rate of 98.8% comparing very favourably with the all Wales national average of 98.7%, identical with the previous year.
The LA performance at A* – A for 2011, as demonstrated by the initial WJEC statistics, was up on the performance of 2010 at 17.3%. Conwy students recorded a significant score of 65.9% for the higher grades A* – C, which again compares well with the all Wales score of 66.5%.
A more precise analysis can be completed when the final data is published, and when the comparative national figures are available.”
We congratulate those students who have achieved the results they have worked so hard to attain, and wish them every success for the future. We thank the teaching staff for providing such valuable professional support to our students.
We also acknowledge and celebrate the achievement of our students in other examinations, which include vocational courses and the Welsh Baccalaureate, although an authority analysis of these results is not yet available.”
