A Level Results 2025
A Level Results 2025
Once again, I am proud to announce another exceptional year of A Level examination results at Porthcawl Comprehensive School, reflecting the dedication, resilience and ambition of our students. On behalf of everyone at PCS, I would like to congratulate all Year 13 and Year 12 students on their achievements.
Our successes are judged by many in a whole range of ways but first and foremost it is our students’ success in learning that is important and will serve them best for the future. These results mark the end point to what has been a very good academic year for Year 13. Our school community is celebrating a strong performance across a wide range of subjects, with many students achieving top grades and securing places at leading universities, apprenticeships, and employment opportunities. – I am very proud!
We are absolutely delighted with the outcomes our students have achieved this year. These results are a testament to their hard work, determination, and the unwavering support of our staff and families. Every student should be incredibly proud of what they have accomplished.
This year’s results highlight the school’s commitment to academic excellence and inclusive education. A significant number of students achieved A* and A grades, with many exceeding their personal targets and progressing to competitive courses in medicine, engineering, the arts and science.
Some exciting stories that were shared with us today include Ellie Parry and Katie Coombes who are off to study Medicine at Oxford and Cardiff respectively and Dylan Burge-Jones has won a placed to study Veterinary Science. Isobel James is set to study International Business Management and Languages, Lex Wren-Owens will study Mechanical Engineering and Eve Linehan has won a place at Durham to read Law. Several of our pupils plan to study in London with Max Hall going to Queen Mary to read Law, Toby Abraham planning to go to UCL to read Economics, Wil Morgans going to RADA and Ella Verderame will attend the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama. Ffion Thomas will study Pharmacology at Bath, Rhys Bissmire will study Music at the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama whilst Anna-Rose Merchant is off to Rhode Island in the United States to ready Kinesiology. Good luck to you all and to all of our pupils who have done so incredibly well!
At A Level, our Year 13 students sat 1500 papers over the examination period. Our provisional results show that near 45% of all grades awarded were A*- A, approximately 67% of all grades awarded were A*- B and near 90% of all grades awarded were A*- C. The overall A*- E pass rate was almost 100% with near 95% achieving three A*-E grades and the year group’s wider points score was very strong. Almost three quarters of Year 13 students achieved at least 3 or more A Levels graded at A*- C and approximately 25% achieved 3 or more A Levels graded at A*- A grades.
At AS Level, our Year 12 students have also performed very well. Nearly a quarter of all grades awarded were at grade A and there was a high number of grades awarded at A-B. These results provide a very strong foundation for moving into Year 13 and onto A Level study from September 2025 – congratulations!
These achievements are not just about grades, they reflect the character, growth and potential of our students. We are excited to see them take the next steps in their lives, confident that they are well-prepared for the future. I look forward to finding out about your future successes!
I would like to extend my warmest congratulations to all students receiving their results today and congratulate both staff and students for their hard work and steadfast dedication.
Best wishes,
Mr Stephens – Headteacher
