Many congratulations to one of our A level Pupils Finn Channing Davies from Brecon High School, who not only achieved top grades in his Product Design A2 level this year, but has also become a prize winning student at the 2023 WJEC Innovation Awards. Finn's brand of 'Crimped Climbing' which includes a portable fitness aid to strengthen finger grip for climbers, accompanied by a carry bag, instruction leaflet and other merchandise has been recognised as a winner from extremely strong competition from across Wales. The WJEC exam board when releasing details of the winners, commented on the difficulty in selecting the winners given the high quality of the projects displayed for judging. 

Finn will now receive his award at a presentation at the Senedd in December later this year.  His Teacher from Brecon High School, Mrs Divina Gillard stated that " The dedication, innovation and commitment shown by Finn throughout his time as an A level Student, has been outstanding and the receipt of this award is hopefully the first of many for him as he goes on to study design in university.  As his Teacher, I am extremely proud of his achievements which are thoroughly well deserved. With such amazing facilities at the school allowing for the creation of such a high standard work, we hope that there will be many more successes for future GCSE and A level students."
