HUNDREDS of teenagers have been congratulated on their GCSE results.

Students across Dwyfor and Meirionnydd waited patiently on Thursday to find out how they did in their exams.

Ysgol Ardudwy pupils arguably faced the most daunting circumstances before sitting their exams, as the Harlech school roof was destroyed by huge storms in the run up to exam season.

The pupils and staff had to contend with a disruption to the education at a crucial time just before their GCSE examinations and having to be educated at other centres outside the school together with additional lessons after school to recover the learning time that was lost during the disruption.

Gwynedd Council has congratulated the county’s pupils on their success in their GCSE results.

Cllr Gareth Thomas, Gwynedd Council Cabinet member for education said: “These results are very good; the pupils are to be warmly congratulated.

“We want to see every pupil succeeding. I would like to thank the teachers for their hard work throughout the year.”
