Bishop Burton College has been a pioneer in the launch and roll out of T Levels in the last three years and has a proven track record of success.

As the equivalent to three A Levels, T Levels were designed with employers to give young people the skills and experience to excel in the workplace.

T Level students spend 80% of their time in classroom and college-based learning. The remaining 20% of their time is on an Industry Placement, where the skills they’ve learnt are applied in a real workplace over a sustained period of time.

Perfect pass rate

This year, the college saw an impressive 100% pass rate for the college’s T Level in Health, with all students earning a merit. All 20 students on its Education and Early Years T Level achieved a 100% pass rate.

Curriculum Lead Helen Stanway said: “We are exceptionally pleased to see the continued growth of our T Level provision and the results really do reflect the hard work and dedication of the students.

“We’ve been hearing from students about their next steps on to university and employment, with over a third of students from the T Level in Education and Early years being appointed to roles with the employers who took them for Industry Placements on their course – a solid endorsement of our students’ skills. We wish them all the best for the future.”

Rabail Ahmed, a T Level in Health student, said: “I achieved an overall grade of a B, with a C in my Employer-Set Project and an A in my core exams.

“I think the course is a great way to gain experience of real-world circumstances due to its vocational nature. I will be continuing at Bishop Burton College to complete my second year of T Level Health.”
