Animation student Lita Leikarte, from Leeds City College, celebrating her results

Our students are looking forward to brilliant opportunities in the worlds of work and learning after achieving some great results.

Learners on our T Level and other Level 3 vocational courses found out how they had fared on Thursday 14 August.

Among those delighted with their results was aspiring animator Lita Leikarte, who achieved triple Distinction stars in her Animation course.

She said: “I’ve really enjoyed learning animation over the past two years, it’s such a big industry and there’s so much you can do with it.

“I’ve also made so many great friends that I don’t think I could have met if it wasn’t at this college; the teachers here are really supportive and the courses are fun.

“Today was about proving that I’m great! I want to go into an animation studio but, for the time being, I’ll focus on building my portfolio.”

University places and hospital positions for T Level students

Plenty of T Level students were celebrating too, including Phebe Firth who has achieved a Distinction grade in her Health T Level.

Phebe is now preparing to head off to  the University of Bradford to study paramedic science.

Fellow Health T Level learners Zoe Holmes, Emily Wilman and Isabella Holmes are also excited to have gained the grades they needed to secure work and study opportunities.

Zoe, who achieved a Distinction, will be studying midwifery at the University of Leeds while Emily, who got a Merit, is going to work as a trainee clinical support worker in the operating theatres of St James’s University Hospital.

And Isabella, who also achieved a Merit, will soon be joining the University of Leeds to study nursing.
