Learners across Rhondda Cynon Taf have been receiving their AS, A Level, Advanced Skills Challenge Certificate and Level 3 vocational qualifications results today (Thursday, August 14), with many gaining University places to further their educational studies.
Among those congratulating the successful learners and school staff was Rhondda Cynon Taf Council’s Cabinet Member for Education, Inclusion and Welsh Language, Councillor Rhys Lewis, and the Council’s Director of Education and Inclusion Services, Gaynor Davies.
Councillor Rhys Lewis, Rhondda Cynon Taf Council Cabinet Member for Education, Inclusion and Welsh Language, said: “On behalf of the Council, I would like to extend our congratulations to every learner as they celebrate the end of all their hard work, and to the school staff who have worked tirelessly to achieve the outcomes of today.
“We are looking forward to seeing what they achieve in their next steps, whether that be university or employment.”
Gaynor Davies, Director of Education and Inclusion Services for Rhondda Cynon Taf Council, said: “We are incredibly proud of our learners and what they have achieved today. Their achievements are a testament not only to their hard work and resilience, but also to the teachers, school staff and families supporting them.
"If you did not achieve what you had hoped or are unsure about your next steps, please ensure that you seek advice and guidance from a member of school staff so that you can secure the right future pathway for you.”
The Council rightly recognises all the positive achievements of Rhondda Cynon Taf’s schools and learners, with many securing university admissions, further education places, apprenticeships, and employment opportunities. This marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter in their lives.
There is continued support, advice and guidance for learners who are uncertain about their next steps – including from school staff and Careers Wales.
