Formal GCSE exams took place this year with some support remaining in place, recognising the impact of the pandemic on learners. The support included advance information on exam content and a supportive grading approach.
At a visit to Ysgol Morgan Llwyd in Wrexham where he met students receiving their results Jeremy Miles said:
Congratulations to everyone receiving their results today. You should all be proud of reaching this important milestone in your education.
I welcome these results as our journey continues back to pre-pandemic arrangements.
It’s inspiring to see what our learners have achieved. These learners have had to face immense challenges impacting on their learning opportunities over the past few years as they’ve progressed through their secondary schooling and onto their GCSEs.
