The Pride of Ysgol Eirias

GCSE pupils at Ysgol Eirias in Colwyn Bay have been praised for outstanding results and the resilience shown throughout the Covid-19 pandemic.

Year 11 learners across the county were lauded by secondary school headteachers for their dedication and determination in light of the unprecedented experiences they have encountered over the past two years.

And at Ysgol Eirias, headteacher Sarah Sutton revealed her pride at the maturity and spirit shown by both students and staff.

"We were delighted with the results of all aspects and subjects, they are testament to the hard work of everyone here at the school," she said.

Subject areas that stood out in particular this year were Science, PE, French, German and Welsh, Finance, Food Technology, Art and Textiles and History.

These areas showed an increase or sustained high results for the students. The results for students in A* and A grade were exceptional.

Whilst there are many students who deserve recognition, we would like to offer a mention to the following students who gained all A* or A grades – an outstanding achievement: Jake Allen, Rebecca Casson, Thomas Dickson, Annie Gibson, Alys Lees, Isabelle Oliver, Oliver Rothnie, Fievel Sarok, Kaitlin Tester and Oliver White.

There were a number of students who also scooped exceptional results, including: Ophelia Boase, Jacob Bullock, Ben Bunn, Seren Clifford, Matthew Costello, Jack Evans, Corin Heavers, Carlos Houghton-Mari, Carys Hughes, Joseph Humberstone, Phoebe Innominato, Patrick Lanham-Wright, Emily Lloyd, Omar Matareed, Tyler Miller, Riley Min, Nana Mintah, Isabelle Oliver, Joseph Pollard, Nick Rees, Isabella Roberts, Lois Shepherd, Isabel Thomas, Elin Woodhead, Iola Villamayor and Sam Wong.

Head of Year 11 Dr Rachel Jones added: "We would like to acknowledge how difficult it has been for all of our young people this year and special mention goes to Michelle Flores Gutierrez and Rhys Williams - who were awarded the David Lysak award this year - and Aimee Langton, all of whom have shown strength in the face of adversity.

We are proud of all of our young people and look forward to supporting them in the next steps, may this be in our 6th forms, at college in an apprenticeship or at work. The resilience shown by students and our community is astounding. We are more than proud of our young people, their parents and carers and the staff that have supported them.
Dr Jones, Head of Year 11

Conwy Schools’ Headteacher Response:

As the Headteachers of the Secondary schools in Conwy we wanted to take this opportunity to jointly celebrate the endeavours of our Year 11 learners in light of the unprecedented experiences they have encountered in their schooling over these, their GCSE years. We are very proud of the way they have approached their studies and the maturity and resilience they have shown.

As a cohort we have seen these young people challenged in a way not seen previously and they have risen to this challenge in a way that makes us as schools very proud. Their perseverance and tenacity have known no bounds. These are lifelong skills which will serve them well.

We would also like to thank our dedicated staff for guiding our learners though this turbulent time, preparing them for their GCSE and vocational exams. We thank our parents, communities and governors for their support in ensuring the achievements and success of all our pupils.
