Students at Furness College are celebrating impressive results in their T Level qualifications.
This marks the first cohort of T Level students at the college.
Former Dowdales student Rhiannon Biggins achieved a Distinction in T Level Education and is now progressing onto a Higher Apprenticeship in Project Management at BAE Systems.
She said: “I’m very happy about my result and I’m so proud of myself for how well I have done and I’m sure my family will be too."
Leo Myerscough, another T Level Education student, achieved a distinction and will be working for Furness Academy.
He said: “I’m overjoyed, it’s a massive weight off my shoulders knowing I did so well and it’s really boosted my confidence getting a distinction."
T Level Health students have also been left celebrating.
Former UVHS student Ferne Allen achieved a distinction in T Level Health and is now applying for a Nurse Associate Apprenticeship with University Hospitals of Morecambe Bay NHS Foundation Trust (UHMBT).
She said: “I’m really happy, I didn’t expect to get a distinction.
“My advice to anyone on a T Level or thinking of studying one is to make the most of your placement, don’t be shy, immerse yourself into everything and don’t be afraid to step out of your comfort zone.”
Jessica Jackson, another T Level Health student, achieved a Merit in her studies.
She said: “I’m shocked and excited, my result has given me a lot more confidence. My mam has already started crying because she’s so excited for me.
“I absolutely love my classmates, they have helped me a lot and we have pulled through this together."
Iain Hook, Careers and Engagement Team Lead at UHMBT, expressed pride in supporting the T Level Health students.
He said: “The students' achievements are, of course, down to their hard work and we are grateful to have been part of their development and to now be part of their burgeoning healthcare careers.
“A huge thanks must also be extended to our Trust colleagues on the Wards and in the Departments, which supported the industry placements and provided the opportunities."
Sue Hannan, Assistant Principal, Curriculum and T Level Lead for Furness College, praised the exceptional group of T Level students and their success.
She said: “These students took a chance on a new qualification and it’s paid off for them. I am delighted with their success and we look forward to following their journey in Health and Education.
“It’s been a challenging and complex qualification with real academic rigour but we can clearly see how much this has helped the students prepare for their next steps, and, of course, thanks must go to our staff who have worked so hard to bring T levels to life.”
