Headteacher, Colin Ellis, commented, “Our congratulations go to all students, and, with the last few years having been difficult to navigate for so many, we are truly proud of our students and their incredible efforts. I would like to thank all parents, along with teaching and support staff who have worked incredibly hard to provide our students with guidance and encouragement and the best possible learning opportunities, and it won’t stop here of course! At Castell Alun we seek to get the best for every individual and what matters to us is that each child achieves in-line with his or her potential, so that all students can personally aspire to pursue the eventual careers of their choice. We believe that all students are winners and we can testify absolutely that their successes are richly deserved today.”

Student Development Manager for the Year 11 cohort, Lisa Allen, added, “We are absolutely thrilled with the results today. It’s an anxious time for many and our students’ hard work has been rewarded, providing each of them with a clear pathway for next year, whether in education or indeed, the world of work. We hope to welcome record numbers of Year 11 students from across Flintshire and Wrexham into the Castell Alun Sixth Form next week, and we wish the very best to others who have achieved places on great apprenticeship schemes or secured employment. However the next steps unfold, every single one of our students will remain part of the Castell Alun family.”
