The total number of A level entries in Wales this year was 35,867, an increase of 14\.5% relative to 2020, reversing the decreasing A level entries since the summer of 2015, and resulting in an extra 4,500 A levels being awarded to Welsh learners this year. Results for Wales show that 99\.1% of learners achieved A\* \- E grades, up from 97\.6% in 2019, with an increase at A\* with 21\.3% of candidates achieving this grade.


This year’s assessment and qualification process have been different to previous years as examinations for summer 2021 were cancelled in response to the pandemic. A new system was designed and delivered by schools and colleges and put trust in them to draw together a range of assessment evidence on which to determine a learner’s grade. 


Jeremy Miles said,



> “I hope everyone who received their grades today feels immensely proud of their remarkable achievement.
> 
> 
> “This year has been like no other and you’ve had to make many sacrifices. You have had to deal with so much disruption to your studies over the past 18 months, but have shown tremendous resilience and determination to continue your learning. You have also played an incredibly important role in keeping your classmates, teachers and communities safe.
> 
> 
> “While your experiences and the way in which you have been assessed have been different, the value of these qualifications is not. You can can be sure that your grades reflect your hard work throughout this year, and you fully deserve the qualifications you receive.
> 
> 
> “Our school and college staff have also been tremendous, working incredibly hard and under a lot of pressure to deliver and mark learners’ assessments.
> 
> 
> “The most important thing this year is that learners are able to progress to the next stage of their education, training or their work careers.  
> 
> 
> “Best of luck to you all in whatever your future holds.”

Cyfanswm yr ymgeiswyr Safon Uwch yng Nghymru eleni oedd 35,867, cynnydd o 14\.5% o gymharu â 2020, gan wyrdroi'r gostyngiad mewn Safon Uwch ers haf 2015 ac arwain at ddyfarnu 4,500 o ddyfarniadau Safon Uwch ychwanegol i ddysgwyr Cymru eleni. Mae canlyniadau Cymru yn dangos bod 99\.1% o ddysgwyr wedi ennill graddau A\* \- E, i fyny o 97\.6% yn 2019, gyda chynnydd mewn A\* gyda 21\.3% o ymgeiswyr yn ennill y radd hon.


Mae’r broses asesu a chymhwyso wedi bod yn wahanol eleni i flynyddoedd blaenorol wrth i arholiadau haf 2021 gael eu canslo mewn ymateb i'r pandemig. Dyluniwyd a darparwyd system newydd gan ysgolion a cholegau ac ymddiriedwyd ynddynt i gasglu ystod o dystiolaeth asesu ar gyfer pennu graddau’r dysgwyr.


Meddai Jeremy Miles,



> “Rwy'n gobeithio bod pawb sydd wedi derbyn eu graddau heddiw’n teimlo'n hynod falch o'u cyflawniad nodedig.
> 
> 
> “Nid yw eleni wedi bod yn debyg i unrhyw flwyddyn arall ac rydych chi wedi gorfod aberthu llawer. Bu'n rhaid i chi ddelio â chymaint o darfu ar eich astudiaethau yn ystod y 18 mis diwethaf, ond rydych chi wedi dangos gwytnwch a phenderfyniad aruthrol i barhau â'ch dysgu. Rydych chi hefyd wedi chwarae rhan anhygoel o bwysig wrth gadw'ch cyd\-ddisgyblion, eich athrawon a’ch cymunedau yn ddiogel.
> 
> 
> “Er bod eich profiadau a’r ffordd y cawsoch eich asesu yn wahanol, nid yw gwerth y cymwysterau hyn yn wahanol o gwbl. Gallwch fod yn sicr bod eich graddau'n adlewyrchu'ch gwaith caled drwy gydol y flwyddyn hon, a'ch bod chi'n llwyr haeddu'r cymwysterau rydych chi'n eu derbyn.
> 
> 
> “Mae’r staff yn ein hysgolion a’n colegau ni wedi bod yn aruthrol hefyd, gan weithio’n eithriadol galed ac o dan lawer o bwysau i ddarparu a marcio asesiadau dysgwyr.
> 
> 
> “Y peth pwysicaf eleni yw bod dysgwyr yn gallu symud ymlaen i gam nesaf eu haddysg, eu hyfforddiant neu eu gyrfaoedd gwaith.
> 
> 
> “Pob lwc i chi i gyd gyda pha beth bynnag sydd o’ch blaen yn y dyfodol.”
