Conwy County has performed above the Welsh National average in this year's GCSE results, despite this year's exams said to be more difficult for pupils.

Dr Lowri Brown, Chief Education Officer said: “We are delighted that the hard work of staff and learners has paid off and want to congratulate all learners on their achievements. I would like to wish all the very best to our young people in the stages of their careers.”

“Conwy pupils continue to perform above the Welsh National average on A*-G grades, and the overall pass rate for A* has risen.”

The proportion of higher grade passes of A*-C has improved and compares favourably with the Welsh National average.

Cllr Garffild Lewis, Conwy’s Cabinet Member for Education said: "I would like to thank and congratulate all our young learners who have achieved so much. They have done this in a rapidly changing educational landscape, where the support of teaching and support staff and parents and families has been crucial. A big 'well done' to all concerned."
