Pupils can appeal A-level grades if they are lower than what was predicted by teachers following an outcry over results.

Pupils had accused the Welsh Government of "abandoning them" after 42% of grades were lowered by the exams watchdog.

Education Minister Kirsty Williams has confirmed appeals will be allowed if "there is evidence" pupils should have received higher grades.

She said it gave "clarity" to students.
