Ysgol Aberconwy Celebrates Outstanding A Level Success 

Ysgol Aberconwy students and staff are celebrating outstanding A Level results once again with every student successfully gaining entry into their choice of university or career pathway. 

Amongst the many successes celebrated by students and their families, special congratulations go to Felix Somary [A*, A*, A*, A], Keira Williams [A*, A*, A, A], Vincent Villanueva [A*,A*, A, B], Cian Adams [A*, A, A, A] and Noah Hadley [A*, A, A, B].  Felix and Vincent will be going to University to study Mathematics at Lancaster and Warwick respectively, whilst Cian will be taking up a place at UCL and Keira at York.  Noah will be preparing for a lifetime helping those impacted by global catastrophe by studying ‘International Disaster Management and Humanitarian Response (with Spanish)’ at Manchester, he said, “I can’t explain how happy and excited I am to begin studying this course in university and for the countless different destinations possible. I’m beyond grateful for everyone in Aberconwy, staff and friends, for making this dream a reality.” Felix added, “I can’t quite say I was expecting this but I sure can’t complain about it! We’ve all worked hard for these exams and I am very proud of all my friends. Get ready Lancaster Uni!!!” 

Other outstanding performances were made by Martha Hughes [Adult nursing in Cardiff], Zak Parry [Chemistry at Manchester], Amber Williams [Product Design at Bangor], and Catrin Jones [Medicine at Bangor].  A number of other students have gained the qualifications they need to take them into a range of careers – like Luke Corcoran who will take one of a small number of coveted apprenticeships with Scottish Power. 

The school is especially proud of Mykhailo Yushchenko who joined the school when he and his family fled from the war in Ukraine two years ago.  With very little knowledge of our Education system or language, he has worked extremely hard to achieve 3 A levels and an AS level. He will now go on to study Philosophy at a university in London – well done Misha! 

Headteacher Ian Gerrard congratulated all students and staff on their results and wished them all the very best for their future. He stated, “I’m delighted in the achievements of our students this year and I’m encouraged to see that such a wide and varied selection of courses are being followed by our young people across the UK. We wish them well for the future and look forward to hearing of their continued success in the years to come.”
