I would like to congratulate each of our students who have achieved success with their ‘A’ level results. I am delighted that 32% of grades awarded were at A* and A and that the number of students achieving passes at A* to C grades has increased again. Our Welsh Baccalaureate results are also very pleasing with 97% completing successfully and more significantly, 74% being awarded an A* or A grade.

Particular mention must be given to Head Girl Maddie Davies and Head Boy Euan Pearce who gained 5 A* and A grades between them. Impressive results were achieved by Emily Jackson A*A*A*AB, Amber Ahearn A*A*AA and Elinor Thomas A*AAC. Congratulations also to Liam Richards AAAB, Katie Davies AAAC, Chloe Davies A*ABB, and Lowri Turner AAB who all performed to an excellent standard.

With an increasing Sixth Form provision at Pontypridd High these results are encouraging, particularly as students are being challenged to achieve the highest grades. Most pleasing is that all students who successfully completed courses are now able to access a course and destination of their choice.

As Headteacher I am very much aware that for many of us this success is the result of working in partnership with each family for seven years or more. As always the commitment from all students, staff and the support of each family is greatly appreciated. Mr Peter James, Chair of Governors expressed his delight at what has been achieved and congratulates all of the students on their results in addition to thanking staff for their continued hard work and the level of support that ensures Pontypridd High School continues to provide a very successful Sixth Form provision.

We thank those students who are now leaving us for their contribution to our School and wish them well as they move on to new challenges beyond Pontypridd High.
