East Sussex College students celebrate their results!

East Sussex College students celebrated receiving their A-Level, T-Level and Technical & Professional results today, marking the culmination of two years of commitment and dedication!

East Sussex College achieved a remarkable milestone in 2022, being among the exclusive group of only 50 T-Levels providers nationwide to receive results. For 2023, this marked a significant step forward for students dedicated to pursuing technical education in the second year of T-Levels.

Since the launch of T-Levels in 2021, the College has expanded its offerings, providing a diverse range of exciting opportunities for students. The ever-growing selection of courses ensures that aspiring learners have access to a comprehensive array of subjects, with new additions continually enriching the curriculum. Students enrolled on T-Level courses have demonstrated remarkable performance, with an impressive 83% achieving Distinction or Merit grades - almost 14% higher than the national average. The overall T-Level pass-rate was 91.4%, higher than the national average.

The College’s A-Level students at the Eastbourne, Hastings and Lewes campuses also achieved fantastic results with the student’s hard work being rewarded after two years of studies. Forty two A-Level courses had a 100% pass-rate highlighting the quality of provision on offer at the College, fantastic news for all students and staff who worked tirelessly throughout the academic year.

A remarkable 100% pass-rate was achieved across 46 Level 3 Vocational courses. This exceptional feat includes UAL with an 99.9% pass-rate, NCFE maintaining a perfect 100% pass-rate, and BTEC securing a 94% pass-rate.

T-Level students collecting their results included Aiden Hill. Aiden studied as a T-Level Design, Planning and Development student and received a Merit. Aiden said, “I studied T-Level Design, Planning and Development and I achieved a Merit! I’m happy with my grades! What I’m doing next isn’t related to my course, I’m currently training to get my private pilot licence and then plan to start my scholarship to fly commercial. Support from tutors was great, especially from my tutor Matt. I’d recommend that others study this course, it’s great and informative.”

A-Level student, Eden Patterson, was ecstatic with her results! Eden said, “I studied Law, Sociology and English Language and got an A in each of them. I’m very happy with my results! My tutors were always so helpful, they’d give me extra help when needed, extra sessions, they were always there. Next up I’m going to university to study Law. I’d recommend all three A-Levels that I took for sure. If I could tell my past self one thing about college, I’d say start revision early. In the first year, enjoy it, and always prepare!”

Gina Dodd, studied English Literature, History and Sociology at A-Level and achieved A* grades across the board! Gina said, “I’m so happy with my grades! Tutors were really supportive and they always pushed me to work even harder. I’d definitely recommend these courses to other students, It was great. Following my results I’m going to study History at Durham University. It’s definitely worth taking all the opportunities you can get at college as it does really help you.”

Vocational students studying Uniformed Public Services, Morgan Lewes-Clements and Leonie Rogers, received exceptional results and are looking ahead to careers in the public services industry. Morgan, who received D*D*D in Uniformed Public Services, said, “I’m very very happy with my grades. Honestly, support from our tutors was great. The support from my tutor was unreal, he couldn’t have done more, he helped us through everything! I’m looking to join the border force next September.”

Leonie, who received D*DD in Uniformed Public Services, said, “I’m so happy with my grades! From Year 1 to Year 2 there was constant support. Our tutor Sam Cook was always there whenever you needed him, anything you could ask for he’d help. Tutors put everything into making sure we got the best grades. I start working with Sussex Police this September, so I’m doing the Police Constable Degree Apprenticeship, so I’ll be a working police officer while doing a degree.”

Rebecca Conroy, CEO & Principal of East Sussex College, said, “We are incredibly proud of all of our students who are celebrating some excellent results having worked so hard and with such dedication. As they move on we wish them the very best and a future filled with success.”
