“I look forward to welcoming many of the cohort back to the sixth form next year where they will be joined by several students from outside the school’s catchment area.

Ysgol Bro Hyddgen are delighted to celebrate the achievements of our students who now have what they need to access the next stage of their education, training or employment, with many progressing into our Sixth Form to study a range of A Level and vocational subjects.

“It is so very pleasing to see learners progress and achieve so very well across the ability range and in the academic and vocational courses.

“This is a reflection of the high standard of teaching, small classes, and an expectation all learners can achieve leading to realising the school’s motto of Gwireddu Breuddwydion (Enabling dreams). 

“Behind every set of results is a student with an individual story who has work well within the individual’s circumstances, and all successes are acknowledged and are a matter of pride to us as a school.”
