Ysgol Dyffryn Taf, Whitland, wishes to congratulate students on the success achieved at A-Level and associated vocational courses during the current academic year.

“These students have shown both dedication and perseverance in their studies throughout their time at Dyffryn Taf and deserve the accolade associated with such success,” said headteacher Mr. Robert Newsome OBE.

“The performance reflects the efforts and effective partnership that exists between individual students, their parents and the teachers at Dyffryn Taf.”

Mr. Newsome continued: “The school endeavours to produce well-rounded individuals who have a diversity of skills to meet the various demands of higher education and employment.

“It is hoped that the school’s community programme, the post-16 work experience, and cultural and competitive opportunities, will further enhance the potential of these students and complement the excellent results achieved.

“This has been enhanced with the Welsh Baccalaureate and a blend of vocational subjects.”

Mr. Newsome added: “On behalf of the students and governors of the school, I wish to thank all the staff for their dedication and for providing the quality and diversity of educational experiences for all at the school.

“We wish all the A-Level students every success in the future.”

The percentage of students gaining two A*-E grades (pass) was 94 per cent, while the percentage gaining at least 2A*-C grades was 71 per cent.
