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.

What are T Levels?

T Levels are a new set of technical qualifications in England for 16-19 year olds that provide an alternative to A Levels for students who want to pursue technical careers. T Levels are a mix between classroom learning (80%) and practical experience on an industry placement (20%).  Gain knowledge, skills and experience needed to progress into skilled employment, further study or higher level apprenticeships. This video from the Department of Education explains how they can work for you.
