Statistics published by the Welsh government show pupils across the first three stages of education performed better in all core subjects this year than in 2013.
The percentage of pupils achieving expected levels in English, Welsh, maths and science was 2.2 per cent higher in the early years curriculum – the Foundation Phase – 1.8 per cent better at key stage 2 and up four per cent at key stage 3.
Compared with those recorded in 1999, results now are higher by almost 12 per cent at key stage 2 and 10 per cent at key stage 3.
The figures come after a successful summer with improvements in both GCSE and A level results.
