Ysgol Dinas Bran students celebrate "excellent" A-Level results






There were great scenes of happiness at Ysgol Dinas BrĂ¢n today as sixth form students celebrated receiving their A-Level results. 

According to headteacher Mark Hatch, results are excellent, with early indications that nearly all have achieved their first choice in the next step of their career pathway, whether that be university or an apprenticeship scheme.  

He added: "We are extremely proud of all of the students and their achievements and I would like to wish them all the very best on their next steps. 

"We have many students going on to university, but we also have students with great apprenticeship opportunities. 

"I am just so pleased for all the students and would like to thank the staff for all their efforts and for the support of the parents."  

* Denbighshire County Council has congratulated pupils receiving their A-level results.

Councillor Gill German, Cabinet Lead Member for Education, Children and Family Services, said: “On behalf of the council I would like to congratulate all pupils that have received their A-level results.

“This cohort has faced significant challenges over the past few years. They have made a tremendous effort to achieve their results, they have worked very hard to get here and have overcome a lot of obstacles.

“There has been some fantastic partnership working to ensure students achieved the best results possible and pupils have received support from their families and schools. I would like to thank all those who have supported our hard-working students this last year.”

“We would like to wish all learners the very best in their next steps.”

Clwyd South MP Simon Baynes has congratulated A Level students across his constituency on achieving their results today. 

Students throughout Wales have received their A Level grades this morning. Statistics from UCAS show that 72% of 18-year-olds from Wales have secured their first-choice university, up 1% on last year. In total, 15,660 students in Wales have been accepted onto university courses since results were revealed. This figure is up on the pre-pandemic figures from 2019, but down on last year’s results.

 

Mr Baynes, speaking earlier today, said: “A Level results day is often one of the most important days in a young person’s life. It is the culmination of years of hard work and dedication to studying. I congratulate all students on their results today.”

 

If students have narrowly missed a grade, schools and colleges will assist if they believe the results should be reviewed. In addition, those who have missed out on places at their preferred university can also make use of the Clearing system, which helps tens of thousands of students each year to find a place at a university of their choosing.
