Students across Anglesey and Gwynedd have been receiving their A/AS Level and other qualification results.

Anglesey Council was among those congratulating students for their "hard work, dedication and resilience" during their studies and encouraged them to explore opportunities available to them and seek advice and guidance.

The council's director of education, Aaron C Evans, said: "Your achievements reflect the effort, perseverance and commitment you have shown throughout your studies."

"I would also like to recognise the invaluable contribution of teachers, support staff, families and our wider partners. By working together, we create the positive and supportive environment that enables young people to thrive and succeed.

"For anyone who is uncertain about their next steps, support and guidance remain available through schools and Careers Wales. Information can also be found on our Pathways to Success website. Whatever path you choose, I wish you every success for the future."

Across Wales, the highest A-level results rose slightly compared to last year and there was also an increase in the number of A and AS Levels entries.

Gwern ap Rhisiart, Cyngor Gwynedd's head of education, said: "Congratulations to the students and their teachers on their success."

"I extend a special thank you to the schools and teachers for their continued professionalism and dedication, to the students for their considerable efforts and to their families for their continued support. The contribution of each of them is key to the success we are noting today."

Deputy skills minister Cefin Campbell added: "Whether you're heading to university, an apprenticeship, employment or exploring your next steps, plenty of exciting opportunities lie ahead."

"I also want to recognise the unwavering support from teachers and education staff whose efforts have played a vital role in these learners' achievements."
