Cowbridge Comprehensive saw 43.2 per cent of pupils gain A* to A grades, 88.9 per cent A* to C and 100 per cent A* to G

2018 saw the schools record breaking achievement of 48% of students achieving A* or A grades and 87.7% gaining grades A* to C, including English and Maths.

Cowbridge Comprehensive has achieved a lot this year with its outstanding Estyn Report and general rise in GCSE grades.

These accomplishments come a week after the school also enjoyed significant A Level triumphs.

Cllr Lis Burnett, Vale of Glamorgan Council Cabinet Member for Education and Regeneration, said: "Vale schools have once more excelled when it comes to examination performance and everyone involved should be immensely proud of their achievements.

"Coupled with last week's A Level success, this has been a hugely successful summer for the County's pupils and the educational staff that have supported them and I'd like to pass on my sincere congratulations to all.

"Such strong GCSE results indicate there are very many Vale pupils with bright futures ahead of them and I wish them all every success as they embark on the next step of that journey."
