Mr Powell, Headteacher, said: "We are delighted with our learners’ results. They have shown real resilience and determination in their studies, and it is clear that their hard work has paid off.

Staff and pupils at Llanidloes High School are delighted with the GCSE results this year.

Headteacher, Daniel Owen, said: “We are deeply proud of all of our GCSE students. They have

served as exemplary role models for younger pupils over the past two years and have shown

resilience, graft and a superb attitude to learning. Their splendid examination performance is richly

deserved and means they have a great opportunity at Sixth Form to secure places in Oxbridge,

Russell Group Universities, top apprenticeships, or to pursue excellent employment opportunities.

These are truly exciting times for our wonderful young people.”

“There are many notable individual performances, including: Romily Ellis 12 A* to A’s, Jamie Fansa 11 A* to A’s, Aron Peck 11 A* to A’s, Alice Redfern 11 A* to A’s, Rose Foskett 10 A* to A’s, Jessica Halsey 9 A* to A’s, Samuel Hurst 9 A* to A’s, Catrin Jardine 9 A* to A’s, Griff Jones 9 A* to A’s, Erin Owen 9 A* to A’s, Gethin Woosnam 9 A* to A’s, Ffion Davies-Williams 8 A* to A’s, Lewis Desclaux 8 A* to A’s, Pheobe Glover 8 A* to A’s and  Caitlin Turner 8 A* to A’s

“I would like to congratulate every student on their results. We look forward to welcoming most of you back into Sixth Form where we will continue to ensure you excel academically and enjoy the tremendous variety of extra-curricular activities, such as Gold Duke of Edinburgh, overseas trips to Italy and France, university residential preparation for higher education, and wide-ranging cultural visits across the UK.”

Mr Owen added, “Our Oxbridge admissions programme includes facilitating visits to Oxford and

Cambridge Colleges and bespoke tuition from staff who attended these universities. This will help our high achievers capitalise on their continued success at Llanidloes High School. There is similarly comprehensive support for our young people with wide-ranging additional learning needs to ensure everyone is able to realise their full potential.”

In recent years, Llanidloes Sixth Form was in The Times top ten Sixth Forms in Wales. 

Mr Owen said, “Thanks to the professionalism, hard work and deep care of our fantastic staff team, we hope to achieve this feat again this year.”
