This year’s results saw a rise of six points in the school’s overall ‘Capped 9’ score, which is now the main Key Performance Indicator in Welsh Schools. 
 

Notable performers were Katie Shackleton who achieved 6 A*s, 4 As, 1 Distinction (in Additional Maths) and 2 Bs, an average wider points score of 507 points; Izzy Morales who achieved 3 A*s, 5 As, 2 Bs and 1 Merit, an average wider points score of 486 points.

Rob Edwards, Headteacher, said: “The results achieved by the students are encouraging and show clear improvement and an upward trend in some key areas. We are very proud of all our students and their hard work this year. The students continue to embrace the positive changes made to the school and have seized every opportunity afforded to them.

"I would like to take this opportunity to thank all members of the school community for their support during the year."
