T Levels

T Levels are new qualifications for students aged 16 to 18 who have finished their GCSEs

Each T Level is equivalent to 3 A levels and helps young people develop the knowledge, attitude and practical skills to thrive in the workplace or progress onto Higher Education or Apprenticeships.

In 2024/25 we achieved a 97% pass rate across all of our T Levels, significantly higher than the national average of 91.8%. More than three quarters of those (78.8%) were merit or Distinction grades compared to 65.3% nationally.
