Medicine, acting, teaching, and Spanish with molecular biology are some of the things students from one south Wales school will be going on to after A-levels.
On Thursday, August 14, many young people at Y Pant School in Talbot Green were celebrating getting on to the courses of their choice after success in their A-levels and the Local Democracy Reporting Service went to the school to speak to some of the students who had achieved what they wanted.
Louis Wilde, 17, got two A*s and two As and is off to Cardiff to study dentistry.
He said he opened the wrong sheet of paper at first but said there was 'relief and a lot of joy' to get into uni.
He said: 'I want to help people and make a difference,' adding that work experience has made dentistry appeal to him as something he wants to do as a career.

Billi Mucklow brushes aside ex Andy Carroll's split drama with girlfriend Lou Teasdale as she enjoys a quiet holiday with their kids in Spain
has shared a glimpse of her quiet holiday in Spain with her and ex Andy Carroll's kids amid the footballer's split from girlfriend Lou Teasdale. Former Towie star Billi, 37, split from Andy, 36, last year and he quickly moved on from her with Lou, 41 - but now it has been claimed they have sensationally broken up. The pair, who were together for just over a year, have now unfollowed each other on social media and Andy has wiped all trace of Lou from his Instagram. And amid the bitter break-up, with both parties claiming to have dumped the other, Billi proved her ex-husband was far from her mind as she soaked up the Spanish sunshine with their five children. Billi and Andy have three children together Arlo, Wolf, and Marvel Mae and she also raises his two children Emilie Rose, 15, and Lucas, 14 from his past relationship. The children looked happier than ever as they beamed for a snap shared to Billi's Instagram on Thursday, of which she captioned: 'I love you kids! ❤️' The former reality star also shared some cute snaps of her 'Beautiful Girls' Emilie Rose and Marvel Mae cuddling up together for the camera. The siblings shared a sweet kiss as they spent quality time together on holiday. Not missing out her boys, Billi then took to her stories to document her 'expensive day out' with her sons as they enjoyed a spot of shopping. The youngsters looked chuffed as they posed outside a Barcelona Football Club store while holding aloft their brand new football kits. Billi also uploaded a photo of her enjoying an ice-cream with stepson Lucas, with the teen clad in a Newcastle United shirt in a nod to his father's time as a striker for the club. While another pic showed little Marvel on the shoulders of big brother Lucas while posing in a busy town square. It comes as Andy reportedly 'hated' girlfriend Lou's 'influencer lifestyle' and grew sick of her constantly posting loved-up pictures of their relationship on social media, it emerged in light of their split. Reports initially claimed the footballer dumped the make-up artist after becoming fed up with her high maintenance behaviour. However, Daily Mail exclusively revealed on Wednesday it was in fact Lou who called off the relationship. The makeup artist regularly shared intimate snaps of the pair kissing and holding hands on holiday and date nights. More often than not, Andy would repost the same PDA pictures on his social media or share his own versions. Andy has allegedly always secretly hated Lou plastering their love life on Instagram, raising questions whether Lou's recent loved-up Ibiza picture dump in May could have been the last straw. A source told The Sun: 'Andy got sick of Lou's demands and her influencer lifestyle. 'She's always posting on social media and he hates that. He told her it was over this week. He's single now. 'It's been a tough time and now he's back in the UK, he just wants to focus on football and his kids. He hates the influencer lifestyle. He has no interest in posing for loved-up pics.' Daily Mail approached Andy and Lou's representatives for comment at the time. Reports claimed the footballer dumped the make-up artist after becoming fed up with her high maintenance behaviour, however, Daily Mail exclusively revealed on Wednesday it was in fact Lou who called off the relationship Hitting back at these claims, furious friends of the influencer told Daily Mail that Andy was so desperate to save the relationship that he chartered a private jet to race to Ibiza yesterday in a last-ditch attempt to win her round. A source told the Daily Mail: 'It was Lou who ended her relationship with Andy, she walked away a few days ago, it was very much her choice to end their romance. 'She isn't interested in pointing the finger or blaming him and hoped to deal with their split in private, before he blocked her on Instagram and deleted their photos together. 'Lou is very upset by how everything has played out and the arguments between them were especially difficult for her to go through. 'However, Andy wants Lou back and flew to Ibiza via private jet on Tuesday just to find her, even though he has no idea where she's staying. 'He will think it's a romantic gesture but for Lou, she's unimpressed and just wants to be away with her family, she's not interested in any of his attempts at a reconciliation now. 'All she has done all year is love and support Andy, her feelings haven't gone away, but Lou has to protect herself now and ending the relationship is the only way to move forward.' The pair, who were together for just over a year, have now unfollowed each other on social media and Andy has wiped all trace of Lou from his Instagram.

The couple's last public outing was at an Oasis gig at the end of July, where they packed on the PDA, proving they were still together. Meanwhile, Andy and Billi called it quits after two years of turbulent marriage, the footballer confirmed last year. In 2022, their wedding was almost called off when Carroll was pictured drunkenly passed out in bed with two women in Dubai on his stag do. Mucklow forgave him after one of the women insisted nothing sexual happened. Less than two years after their nuptials, the couple's marriage was over - with Carroll confirming they had started divorce proceedings after 'a hard few months for our family'. Carroll said in a statement at the time: 'Billi and I have privately separated earlier this year and we are under way with our divorce proceedings'.

Heartbeat star becomes frontrunner to lead Death in Paradise-style spin-off
Death in Paradise is getting a spin-off in the form of Death in Benidorm, which will see a UK detective move overseas in a bid to escape the chaos of his career Heartbeat legend Jason Durr is amongst the frontrunners to portray the main detective in a Death in Paradise-style spin-off entitled Death in Benidorm. The plot for Death in Benidorm revolves around Detective Dennis Crown, who "has swapped the chaos of the UK for a quieter life running a bar in Benidorm". The show's synopsis reveals: "But when tourists start turning up dead, he's reluctantly drawn back into detective work-egged on by his barmaid Rosa, a crime drama superfan. "With Dennis's real-world experience and Rosa's encyclopaedic TV knowledge, each episode sees the duo tackling a new murder in paradise, whilst trying to remain on the right side of the local Spanish cops." And whilst no official announcement has been made regarding who will portray the main detective, gambling firms have started speculating about possible casting decisions, reports Wales Online. Jason features amongst the names being considered, alongside Neil Morrissey, Rob Brydon, and Mark Benton. However, the former Heartbeat actor, who portrayed PC Mike Bradley, has been offered odds of 8/1 to secure the leading role. "As a household name with a strong track record in other shows, Morrissey brings the right mix of humour, emotional depth and recognisability, if the producers are aiming to turn heads and draw in ratings." He continued: "Hot on his heels is Mark Benton, a Channel 5 favourite which could see him easily fit into the role of Dennis Crown. Benton's everyman appeal and proven charm in Shakespeare and Hathaway would slot perfectly into the tone of a light-but-meaningful coastal crime drama. "For now, though, the latest odds suggest it's Morrissey who looks most likely to be sipping sangria while solving sun-drenched secrets!" Additional contenders include James Nesbitt, Lee Ingleby, Philip Glenister and Sanjeev Bhaskar. The network is yet to announce a transmission date or unveil casting information. Death in Benidorm will air on Channel 5.

Welsh campsite raided by badgers on the hunt for bacon and Billy Bear ham
Welsh campsite raided by badgers on the hunt for bacon and Billy Bear ham She got more than she bargained for when the gang of animals gate-crashed her camping trip One of the badgers seen scurrying off with a pack of biscuits after rummaging through the tent (Image: Jam Press/Andrea Dickinson) A peaceful camping trip in the Welsh countryside turned into an unexpected wildlife encounter for mum-of-one Andrea Dickinson when her tent became the target of a group of hungry badgers. Andrea, from Burnley in Lancashire, had been enjoying the tranquillity of Shell Island in Gwynedd and had stepped out of her campervan to admire the Perseid meteor shower. But instead of a celestial show, she witnessed and filmed the cheeky creatures raiding food from a neighbouring tent, before helping themselves to her own supplies. She told What's The Jam: "I stayed up hoping to see the shooting stars and eventually went to bed. "I woke up at about 4am and went out to see the shooting stars again and heard lots of rustling in the tent next to me."

They were raiding my neighbours tent. I had left some bacon outside my campervan and they had taken that. Article continues below "And my son's Billy Bear ham - they are quite partial to that. It was beautiful. It was amazing to see them. 'It made my stay more spectacular. I was more happy to see the badgers than the shooting stars." The videos show the badgers helping themselves inside the awning of the blue tent. Its occupants posted about the raid, saying: "The badgers couldn't get in the main part of the tent "They were in the front porch that's joined to the tent. It doesn't go fully to the ground but there was a box making it rise higher up which we hadn't realised. "We also thought all the food was shut away and didn't realise the dividers in our cupboard aren't connected all the way down. Article continues below "So the badgers got biscuits by going through the side that hadn't been closed and got under the divider. "We had been sitting watching them for an hour earlier in the night but thought the dog would have alerted us to something rustling in the porch."
