As you read this, students across the Wells constituency will be getting their A-Level and T-Level results.
I know a lot of work has been done to ensure the examination period went as smoothly as possible this year, and I want to congratulate everyone on their results.
For the first time in three years, summer exam results will be announced in the conventional way. After such a tumultuous last few years due to the pandemic, I know this is very welcome news for schools, colleges, and most importantly students. While teacher assessed grades were necessary for that time, it was clear it was sub-optimal and everyone was desperate to get back to the regular assessment system.
It will also be great to see the T-Level results from Strode College after becoming one of the first institutions to provide the qualification just a couple of years ago. I recently met with the new Principal of Strode College, John Revell, who was optimistic about the opportunities T-Levels will present to this first cohort of students who have completed them.
I visit schools and colleges on an almost weekly basis and the commitment the teaching staff have to their students is so clear to see. I am sure all that hard work in the most trying of circumstances over the past few years will pay off.
