T Level Triumph at RNN Group
T Level students are celebrating at RNN Group after achieving an excellent set of T Level results following results day on Thursday 14th August.
Rotherham College and North Notts College part of the RNN Group (made up of campuses also including Dearne Valley College and University Centre Rotherham (UCR)) have gained results including 2 Distinctions, 19 Merits and 17 Passes.
RNN Group started doing T Levels in September 2023 with Digital, Construction (Onsite Construction for Bricklaying and Joinery), Education and Childcare, and Health, and then expanded a year later with Animal Care and Management, Business (Management and Administration), Engineering (Building Services Engineering for Construction [Plumbing and Heating and Electrical Installation] and Maintenance Installation and Repair [Mechatronics and Processing and Control]), and the Foundation T Level too in September 2024.
“I’m really excited because I’ve already made uni friends, so having that and also starting a new chapter is so exciting because now I finally get to start my teaching career, which is something I’ve wanted since I was young.
After a lot of stress, to finally know that I’ll be able to go to university is amazing. I wouldn’t be here without the T-Level course.”
Jess, Level 3 Education and Early Years T-Level student
Each T Level is equal to three A Levels and is a more practical journey into the working world with 4 days in the classroom and one day in the relevant industry building up skills for employment which employers are finding invaluable.
A distinction equals 3 A’s at A Level, a merit 3 B’s and a Pass 3 C’s so our learners have achieved so much as the first learners within the Group to complete the new two year programme.
Tracey Mace-Akroyd, Deputy CEO and Principal of the RNN Group said,
“I am so proud of all of our learners across all of the T Level departments and campuses for all the hard work they have put into these courses and their achievements showcase this so well.
“Our staff have worked tirelessly to guide and support our T Level learners over the last two years and have embraced T Levels and the educational journey they take our learners on wholeheartedly which we can see in the delivery of these amazing results.
“T Levels provide learners with a meaningful industry placement, where they put skills learnt in the classroom into action which means that employers get early sight of the new talent in their industry which is win-win for everyone involved: students, educational institutions, employers and our local economy.”
