Pencoedtre High teacher's emotional message on A-levels

On Thursday, August 17, the wait was over for students across the country – and the wait will soon be over for GCSEs, which come next week, August 24.

Alexandra Williams, head of performing arts at Pencoedtre High School, was in New Orleans when her students opened their results, but despite this, she insisted they were celebrated.

“It has been a tough year for some of these pupils, but I am so proud of their remarkable ability to overcome challenging situations while continuing to produce exceptional work.

“These resilient individuals have faced difficult times, yet their unwavering determination and commitment to their craft have allowed them to produce work of the highest quality.”
