1. Results day celebrations at Coleg y Cymoedd
After years of work, days of exams, and likely a few sleepless nights, A-level results day arrived this week for Welsh learners. Our team was on hand at Coleg y Cymoedd’s Nantgarw campus to speak with learners receiving their A-level and vocational results and share their achievements with media across Wales and the UK. This year, the college celebrated a whopping three Oxbridge places as well as its highest ever number of Russell Group acceptances. You can read some of our success stories from the day in titles including BBC News, Guardian, Wales Online, FE News, Pembrokeshire Herald, and the Caerphilly Observer.
2. Good to Go, Sharing A-level success stories with Gower College Swansea
As part of the Good to Go campaign, the Working Word team arrived at Gower College Swansea bright and early to record social content capturing all the nerves, excitement and joy as students collected their grades. Student interviews, filmed by our digital reporters, were uploaded across the College’s social channels in real time. A great morning celebrating exam wins and discussing the next steps for learners as they progress to top universities and careers!
