Once again our pupils at St Cyres have excelled themselves and produced an outstanding set of examination results.

We, as teachers, have always believed in the high ability of our year groups and have been impressed by their commitment. They were expected to achieve very good sets of A Level and GCSE results and they have not disappointed us.

In recent years our Welsh Baccalaureate and A Level results have been so exceptional that they have attracted national radio, TV and press coverage. Once again our students have much to be proud of. An impressive 80% of their results were at grades A-C and their overall pass rate was 98%. This represents a further improvement on St Cyres' already excellent record of achievement.

No fewer than 100 of our students achieved the Welsh Baccalaureate Advanced Diploma. I doubt whether for the fourth year running this exceptional success rate in such a rigorous and demanding course will have been matched by any other school.

Our Year 11 students have achieved the best set of results we have ever had at GCSE Level. At the time of writing we are still finalising the detailed statistics but it is already quite clear that they have done exceptionally well, not only in terms of overall passes, but also in terms of top grades. A remarkable 71% of their results were at grades A*-C. There were nearly 544 A* and A grades and no fewer than 49 pupils managed to achieve 5 or more A/A* grades. 12 of them actually achieved 10 or 11 A/A* grades and 2 achieved 12.

On behalf of the staff and governors I would like to congratulate Year 11 and 13 students on these superb and well deserved achievements. Their achievements are a tribute to the outstanding support they have received from school staff.

Enrolment day for the new 6th formers is on Friday 28th August from 10am in the 6th Form Centre.
