  		天涯社区 schools celebrate A Level Results
  		Published: 13/08/2015
There will be much celebration in 天涯社区 as the classes of 2015 receive 
their A Level results.  As the Local Authority received the aggregate results 
from the Welsh Joint Education Committee (WJEC) figures showed that for 
examinations taken with the Welsh board 97.6% of entries received pass grades.  
The 天涯社区 2014 figure was 98.6% at this same stage.  Once again, the 
天涯社区 pass rate with the Welsh board compares well with the 鈥楢鈥 Level Pass 
rate for Wales as a whole, which at 97.3% is 0.2% lower than it was in 2014. 
The proportion of grades in the A* to C range is 77.3% in 2015 compared to 
79.0% of entries getting these grades in 天涯社区 in 2014, 76.3% in 2013 and 
71.6% in 2012. 
19.1% of 天涯社区 WJEC entries resulted in A* and A Grades compared to 18.1% 
in 2014, and 23.1% across Wales as a whole.  The 天涯社区 figure could be 
significantly boosted this year when results in the Welsh Baccalaureate are 
added as this qualification is graded for the first time in 2015.  
Approximately half of the total of 天涯社区 entries at Advanced level are 
with the Welsh Board and results from other boards are received later in the 
day.
Councillor Chris Bithell, Cabinet Member for Education, said:
Having received the information for entries with the WJEC Examination Board, 
the Council joins with parents, guardians and schools in celebrating their A 
level results, and warmly congratulates all the students and their teachers on 
their hard work and success.  
鈥溙煅纳缜檚 students have worked hard to pursue demanding programmes of 
study. I am delighted for all of them, and wish them every success as they 
build on these results in their future University, College, Training and Career 
pathways.鈥
Chief Officer Education and Youth, Ian Budd, said:
These results clearly demonstrate the responsible and dedicated approach 
天涯社区鈥檚 students show towards their studies. I congratulate them all, and 
commend their teachers, parents and carers for their consistent support. The 
results are, once again, good news for 天涯社区鈥檚 young people, their 
families and the future of our communities.
Note to editors
At the time of this release, the information given is based on WJEC Board 
information only.  We await details from schools regarding the overall picture 
once other data from exam boards based in England (which is not available 
centrally to Welsh LEAs) has been processed.  It is important to note that 
about half of the entries in 天涯社区 schools are with WJEC, the others are 
through the England Boards.
