A-level results show continued high standards and outstanding individual performances
Learners at Coleg Sir Gar have produced an outstanding set of A level results this year, in what for many was still a relatively new experience of sitting formal examinations at this level of study.
The recent return to a formal examination-based assessment required extra support, guidance and care, provided by committed and specialist staff from across the A level programme.
For A level qualifications, the College celebrates 30% of learners attaining A*-A grades, whilst 13% of entries achieved the top A* grades. This is an outstanding achievement and a testament to the hard work of all students and staff throughout the last two years. Notable subject performances included Biology, Business Studies, English Literature, Further Mathematics, Geography, Government & Politics, Law, Mathematics, Physical Education, Psychology and Sociology. Overall, 81% of learners achieved grades A*- C and 99% achieved grades A – E. This is in line with expectations highlighted by Qualifications Wales
and the WJEC.
