Staff and pupils at Llanidloes High School are "delighted" with the GCSE results this year.

Headteacher Daniel Owen said everyone at the secondary school was "deeply proud" of all of the GCSE students. 

"They have served as exemplary role models for younger pupils over the past two years and have shown resilience, graft and a superb attitude to learning," he said.

"Their splendid examination performance is richly deserved and means they have a great opportunity at Sixth Form to secure places in Oxbridge, Russell Group universities, top apprenticeships, or to pursue excellent employment opportunities.

"These are truly exciting times for our wonderful young people.”
