PUPILS in Powys have once again achieved excellent GCSE results.
Almost seven out of 10 results (69 per cent) are at grades A*-C, maintaining the excellent performance of Powys schools.
However, results at grades A*-C have decreased slightly from 2009 as have results at the higher grades A*-B.
But the percentage of grades A*-C in Powys is nearly three per cent more than in Wales as a whole.
The overall pass rate of grades A*-G is similar to last year’s level at just over 99 per cent, almost one per cent higher than the all-Wales pass rate of a little over 98 per cent.
This year’s results at the highest grades A*-A at 21 per cent are almost two per cent more than in Wales as a whole. The percentage of results at grades A*-B at 41 per cent is also more than two per cent higher than in Wales.
