John Waszek, Executive Principal of Rydal Penrhos, said: "Our Year 13 pupils deserve all the credit in the world for coming through what was an incredibly difficult period to accomplish some remarkable A Level results.

"Their collective will to succeed, coupled with our outstanding academic and pastoral provision, enabled them to remain on course at a time when there was so much uncertainty surrounding them.

"My congratulations go to the pupils, the staff who've guided them and to family members that also played a big part with unwavering support. We wish them well on the next step of their journey and our thoughts and best wishes go with them."
