The overall Pembrokeshire pass rate at A-level is 96.6% compared to the Welsh average of 97.3% - down 2.2% on the previous year.
The percentage of students who gained A* and A grades is also down compared to the Welsh average with 18.2% of Pembrokeshire pupils achieving the top marks.
We are pleased with the overall results and I offer my heartfelt congratulations to the students on their successes and recognise their hard work in preparing so thoroughly for the examinations.
I’d also like to acknowledge the dedication of the teachers in a time of increased expectations. The sustained position reflects the joint commitment of all education institutions and Local Authority staff in ensuring that young people are afforded every opportunity to achieve their full potential.
Fewer of our most talented and hard working pupils gained the top grade of an A or an A*.
Twins Rory and Ryan celebrated exactly the same A-level results today - and are off to the same university to study the same course.
