T Levels

In this, the third year that students have completed T Levels, 7,380 students received T Level results across 16 subject pathways (up from 3,559 students last year covering 10 pathways).  88% of this year’s cohort achieved a pass or above for their overall T Level.  95% completed an industry placement.

Ofqual will publish an equalities analysis, setting out the differences in results between students with different characteristics, in the autumn.

Our summaries of this year’s results trends for A Levels and GCSEs are also available.
