<p>Learners from Weston College received their Level 2 Diploma and Certificate results this morning, including GCSE and Functional Skills in Maths and English. The College has seen pass rates improve on last year, with exceptional outcomes particularly in GCSE Maths with pass rates at 30%, 13% above the national pass rate. It is similar story with English resits, with pass rates well above the national levels. At the same time, we are thrilled to see a number of learners achieve high grades including grades 8 and 9s in both English and maths.</p><p>With Level 2 courses offered across the various Career Excellence Hubs, learners from a range of disciplines, from Construction to Hospitality, collected their results today, with many celebrating their achievements.</p><p>Jackson, who studied Motor Vehicle and completed his Functional Skills in Maths, shared his experience:</p><p>"My time at Weston College was truly transformative. I not only mastered the intricacies of motor vehicle systems but also overcame my struggles with maths, thanks to the support of phenomenal lecturers. This journey has given me the skills and confidence to pursue my dream of joining the REME Regiment as a Vehicle Mechanic, and I’m excited for what lies ahead."</p><p>In addition to Level 2 courses, both new and returning learners received their GCSE maths and English results this morning, striving to achieve the grade C/4 required to advance in their education.</p><p>The College learners have displayed exceptional dedication and perseverance, proving that it’s never too late to secure qualifications and unlock new opportunities. These results are a significant cause for celebration and underscore how Weston College supports its learners in achieving their goals.</p><p>One of the tremendous success stories from the day is Oli who picked up his English GCSE result. He said:</p><p>“I feel very relieved, and so happy as I can now progress onto my apprenticeship.</p><p>“I have felt so supported during my time at Weston College, everyone has gone above and beyond to help push me beyond my boundaries to pass and achieve this grade.”</p><img src="/sites/default/files/inline-images/Oli%20-%20English%20SMALLER.png" data-entity-uuid="a485efd8-085b-46ad-bb46-4493d2ae4e04" data-entity-type="file" alt="Oli checking his results" width="1000" height="667"><p> </p><p>Maria picked up her Maths GCSE result, saying:</p><p>“I don’t think my results have sunk in yet – I’m overjoyed!</p><p>“I have put in a lot of hard work, and had great support from the team at Weston College, which has allowed me to pass my GCSE.”</p><img src="/sites/default/files/inline-images/Maria%20-%20Maths%20SMALLER.png" data-entity-uuid="520e20f6-2115-46b9-afea-a8c6f58d8dbe" data-entity-type="file" alt="Maria showcasing her results" width="1000" height="667"><p> </p><p>Weston College’s Principal and Chief Executive, Pat Jones, added:</p><p>“We are immensely proud of our learners and the determination they have shown in reaching this important milestone.</p><p>“Their success is a testament not only to their hard work but also to the supportive and inclusive environment we strive to provide at Weston College.</p><p>“Whether they’ve excelled in vocational courses or overcome challenges in core subjects like maths and English, today’s results highlight how education truly transforms lives and opens doors to new opportunities.</p><p>“We look forward to seeing what our learners achieve next as they take the next steps in their journeys.”</p><p><a href="https://www.weston.ac.uk/what-can-i-study/courses-adults/english-and-ma… you would like to find out more about our maths and English courses, you can do so by clicking here.</a></p><p><em>If you are passionate about education and are looking for an opportunity to join the staff team at a leading college, then look at the latest job vacancies available at Weston College </em><a href="https://www.weston.ac.uk/jobs?utm_source=main-menu&utm_medium=main-…;.

<p>My name is Gary, and I recently completed the adult <a href="https://www.weston.ac.uk/what-can-i-study/courses-adults/electrical/ele… 2 Diploma in Electrical Installations.</a></p><p>May I start by saying; having been one of the eldest students on the course I found the thought of undertaking this course a little daunting. It has been a very long time since I was expected to study and undertake exams, assessments etc. From the first classroom session it was clear that the teaching staff were very good in their professional fields, their teaching techniques were second to none, they took time to explain lessons and more importantly actively encouraged questions, regardless of if it seemed daft or not. They would take time to deliver the question in a simpler form and patiently explain the outcome, making the whole process pleasurable (believe it or not).</p><p>The teaching staff would encourage a positive attitude when it came to undertaking essential exams to progress the course to the next stage. Those who were a little unfortunate to miss out on a pass would be offered additional help and reassured that the exam would be passed. They were very sympathetic and supportive if someone did not make the grade at that particular time, and the course candidates were actively encouraged to work together and help each other, which was very refreshing to see.</p><p>Again, Lee’s, Andy’s, and Mark’s knowledge in practical sessions greatly helped to get to the result, a pass on the course. No matter how many times things needed to be explained or demonstrated they would be patient and approach various ways to explain and demonstrate the task being undertaken. Their knowledge of electrical principles was outstanding and made the course even more enjoyable.</p><p>In my opinion they are an asset to Weston College, and with tutors of this calibre I can only see Weston College going very far in the education world. The commitment these staff have to get their students through the course is again outstanding, despite the long hours put in to deliver the course while teaching daytime students.</p>

We acknowledge that Afro-textured hair is an important part of our Black employees’ racial, ethnic, cultural, and religious identities, and requires specific styling for hair health and maintenance. We celebrate Afro-textured hair worn in all styles including, but not limited to, afros, locs, twists, braids, cornrows, fades, hair straightened through the application of heat or chemicals, weaves, wigs, headscarves, and wraps. In this workplace, we recognise and celebrate our colleagues’ identities. We are a community built on an ethos of equality and respect where hair texture and style have no bearing on an employee's ability to succeed.
