Ceredigion council has said its schools are "doing everything possible to ensure that pupils are able to access the university, college or work placements of their choice" following the A-level grading chaos.

The confusion came following "numerous changes" to the awarding of grades over the past few days, the council said, adding that they are "aware of the additional anxiety that the uncertainty over the recent days has caused many of our learners".

It has now been confirmed that school-set Centre Assessed Grades will be used to award the pupil’s grades for A-level and GCSEs.

A Ceredigion County Council spokesperson said today (Tuesday): "The Welsh Government has made numerous changes to the awarding of both A-level and GCSE examination grades in the past few days.

"Kirsty Williams MS, minister for education, has announced that the school-set Centre Assessed Grades will now be used for all GCSE, AS and A-level examinations for 2020.

"For the AS and A-level results already published to pupils on 13 August, the Centre Assessed Grade will now be reissued to the school. If the result given to AS and A-level pupils on 13 August is higher that the Centre Assessed Grade, the higher of both grades will be the final awarded grade.

"Ceredigion County Council and our schools are aware of the additional anxiety that the uncertainty over the recent days has caused many of our learners.

"We would like to assure our learners that all schools are doing everything possible to ensure that pupils are able to access the university, college or work placements of their choice."
