A Level Reaching for the stars

In the year when A level students are awarded A* grades for the first time, students at

Eirias are celebrating a veritable constellation of results.  With 100% pass, of which

over 80% are at grades C and above, students, staff and parents are all over the moon.

Many students are now hoping to go to University to study a range of subjects from

Medicine to Drama, Chemical Engineering to Philosophy. Laura Smith, who intends to

take an Art foundation course before studying fine art, achieved an unprecedented 3A*

and 1 A, Caitlin Hughes with 2A*s and an A will study English Literature and Philosophy

at Cardiff.  Tom Simpkins 2A*s and 1A and Claire Castle with 1A* and 3 As will respectively be going

to Oxford to read Maths and Birmingham to read Music.  Bucking the national trend

many of our students will go on to study the sciences and a range of languages, from

French and German to Italian, Russian and Arabic with Middle Eastern Studies.

Head teacher, Phil McTague said

"These outstanding results are a rich reward for all the hard work of the students and staff

together with the support of parents.  Top class results, and the wider skills developed

within the Sixth form, are even more essential as the economic climate begins to make 

employment more competitive"

GCSE Level Best ever results completes year of celebration

Building on last weeks’ superb A level results, the best ever KS3 results, the outstanding

Inspection report and the opening of the state of the Art technology block Ysgol Eirias is

again celebrating their exceptional, GCSE results, bucking the National trend with  81%

of students gaining five or more A* to C grades.

Topping the league with a fantastic 9A*, 2As and 1 Distinction is Tim Nye.
