Neath Port Talbot schools mark A-level success
13 August 2026
Congratulations are being extended to students and staff at Ysgol Gymraeg Ystalyfera-Bro Dur and St Joseph's Roman Catholic Sixth Form Centre, Neath Port Talbot's two schools providing post-16 education. Students at both schools collected their results today for their A-Level and other post-16 qualifications. Many young people across the county borough also continue their studies through Grŵp Colegau NPTC Group of Colleges.
Councillor Steve Hunt, Leader of Neath Port Talbot Council, said: “Results day represents the outcome of many years of commitment from pupils, teachers, parents and carers. Whether students are progressing to apprenticeships, university, further training or directly into employment, their qualifications provide an important foundation for their next steps, and we wish them every success for the future.”
Congratulating students and school staff, Councillor Nia Jenkins, Cabinet Member for Education and Early Years, added: “Many congratulations to all the pupils on what they have achieved across a wide range of vocational, technical and academic qualifications.
“I would also like to acknowledge and thank senior leaders, exams officers, support staff and teachers for the part they have played in supporting our young people with their studies. The strong learning foundation established at Key Stage 4 has helped more students continue their education beyond 16 with purpose, ambition and success.”
