Parents, families, and staff joined together today to celebrate another year of outstanding results at the London Design & Engineering UT6, with learners achieving success across Technical Qualifications, our first-ever T Levels, and A Levels.  

Technical and T Level achievements 
We are proud that our learners have achieved an average grade of Distinction. Aviation, Engineering, and Digital Media learners all posted exceptional results, with many securing the very highest marks. Our first-ever T Level cohort in Engineering achieved a perfect pass rate, with almost half earning Merit.  
 
The CEO of City & Guilds, Kirstie Donnelly joined us today, to personally congratulate learners, and praise them for achieving well above the national average in final year results. Kirstie said “I was bowled over by what I saw at the London Design and Engineering UTC... Thank you to all at the London Design and Engineering UTC for representing so perfectly all that is so impactful about teaching technical skills and preparing so many young people for their bright futures, as well as engaging so brilliantly with so many employers in doing so.” You can read more about her visit on LinkedIn.  
 
A Level success 
The vast majority of A Level learners achieved strong grades, with particularly impressive performances in Mathematics, Psychology, Chemistry, and Graphics. In Further Mathematics, every single learner achieved the top grades possible. “Our A Level learners have shown real determination and resilience,” said CEO & Principal Geoffrey Fowler. “They’ve excelled in demanding subjects and are now moving on to incredible destinations from Oxford and UCL to specialist universities and higher apprenticeships.” 

Apprenticeships 
At our Engineering Skills College, our apprentices achieved remarkable results too, with an average grade of Double Distinction with 78% securing Distinction Distinction or higher.

Destinations
Our learners are heading to exciting higher apprenticeships with employers such as Rolls Royce, Amazon Siemens, Deutsche Bank, Mace, ITV, and the RAF.  The vast majority of our university applicants received their first choice, heading to the UK’s most prestigious universities including, Oxford, Edinburgh, King’s College London, and Loughborough.  
Anne Heal, Chair of our Trust, said “These results show what happens when you combine talented young people, expert teaching, and strong partnerships with industry. We couldn’t be prouder.”
