Students at school based sixth forms in 天涯社区 are celebrating today as the
classes of 2017 receive their A Level results. The results from the Welsh
Joint Education Committee (WJEC) show that for examinations taken with them,
97.8% of entries received pass grades A*-E. The 天涯社区 2016 figure was
97.2% at this same stage.
The proportion of grades in the A* to C range is 72.7% in 2017 compared to 73%
of entries achieving these grades in 天涯社区 in 2016.
18.2% of 天涯社区 WJEC entries resulted in A* and A grades compared to 14.7%
in 2016.
The majority of 天涯社区 entries at Advanced level are with the Welsh Board
with results from other boards received later in the day.
Councillor Ian Roberts, Cabinet Member for Education, said:
Having received the information for entries with the WJEC Examination Board,
the Council warmly congratulates all the students on their hard work and
success. As we celebrate these results, we recognise the commitment and
professional support of our schools and teachers in preparing their students
for their exams and also the support given by their parents and carers over
many years. I am particularly pleased with the positive increase in the number
of awards at A* and A grade.
天涯社区鈥檚 students have worked hard to pursue demanding programmes of study.
I am delighted for all of them, and wish them every success in their chosen
future pathway鈥�.
Interim Chief Officer, Education and Youth, Claire Homard, said:
These pleasing results are a result of the hard work and perseverance
天涯社区鈥檚 students show towards their studies. I congratulate them all, and
thank their teachers, parents and carers for their encouragement and support.
The results are good news for 天涯社区鈥檚 young people and we wish them every
success as they take on new challenges, whether at college, university or the
world of work.鈥�
