What parents say...

“We also had a parent’s meeting at his school earlier this week.  I am pleased to say that his maths teacher was very impressed with not only his work, but also his attitude toward it.  I can only say that this is because of the wonderful service you and your colleagues have given.  Thank you so much for this.  Ellis is really enjoying his time with you and also seeing how well he is doing and this has resulted in a positive attitude towards learning.” James (parent) 2021

The tutors are great! It’s a convenient location and the assessment is easy to arrange.”

Thank you so much for helping me with my maths!  I have come along much more in maths lessons at school! Hopefully, depending on whether I need help when I go to Secondary School I might come back again. (I hope so)  Thank you again. Madison.

I would like to thank you for everything that you have done, and also pass on my gratitude from Lottie because she has learnt she has really benefited from and her confidence in maths has vastly improve, so much so that she now tells me that she looks forward to maths class at school!
Charlotte's parents
She is a quiet girl and I was concerned that her poor spelling was not being corrected.  When she saw the progress Bella was making in such a short time, I enrolled her for Maths as well!   It has transformed her thinking and she now has the self-esteem to ask questions in both numeracy and literacy.
Ms R Temple

What is a T-Level Vocational Qualification?

Explaining T-Level Qualifications

studentThe T-Level qualification is a new technical education route introduced in the UK, designed to offer students a vocational alternative to A-Levels. You may have heard of BTECs which they are designed to replace.  The T-Level is designed to give 16-18 year olds more work experience and more access to challenging vocational qualifications.   The main difference is the amount of time the qualification allows for students to work in industry.

T-Levels are two-year technical courses that combine classroom learning with industry placements. They were introduced to provide young people with practical skills and experience needed to succeed in the workplace. T-Levels were launched in September 2020, with the aim of offering 25 different subjects by 2023.

Example Subjects

Digital Production

Agricultural, Evironmental and Animal Care

Catering and Hospitality

Construction

Creative and Design

Health & Science

Education and Childcare

Sales, Marketing Procurement

Engineering and Manufacturing

Business Administration

Legal, Finance Accounting

Strengths
1. Industry-Relevant Skills: T-Levels are designed in collaboration with employers to ensure that students gain the skills and knowledgework experience needed in the workplace.
2. Work Placement: Each T-Level includes a substantial work placement, giving students real-world experience and helping them build valuable connections in their chosen industry.
3. Clear Pathways: T-Levels offer clear pathways to employment or further study, providing students with a direct route into their chosen career.
4. Recognition: T-Levels are recognised by many universities and employers, providing students with a credible qualification.

Summary

T-Levels are still relatively new, and there may be some stigma attached to vocational education compared to traditional academic routes like A-Levels.  Some students have been disappointed that they have not been as widely accepted by universities as promised.  While there are plans to expand the range of subjects available, the initial offering of T-Levels is limited compared to the wide range of subjects available through A-Levels.  This has improved more recently with the release of more qualifications, however, the resourcing and teaching of each subject my vary.

It is will be important for students and parents to make sure that the course they apply to has good quality teaching and is properly resourced.  Also, be aware that students will need to do 315 hours of work placement.  These placements are an important part of the course, but again may vary in quality.  Make sure the institution is well organised to place students is appropriate positions as this will have a big impact on the student’s experience.Overall, T-Levels offer an innovative approach to technical education in the UK, providing students with valuable skills and experience to succeed in their chosen careers. However, there are still challenges to overcome in terms of implementation and perception.
