Callum Named South West T Level Student of the Year

We are thrilled to announce that Weston College learner Callum Kavanagh has been named the South West Regional Winner for T Level Student of the Year in the prestigious Lloyds Banking Group Awards 2025.

Callum, who is studying the Digital Production, Design and Development T Level at Weston College, was selected from a highly competitive field of learners across the region. His achievement recognises not only academic excellence but also the remarkable impact of his industry placement at Lloyds Banking Group.

During his placement, Callum contributed to a strategic project within the company’s data team, where he developed a software solution that has since become part of the team’s standard toolkit. His initiative, professionalism, and technical ability left a lasting impression on his colleagues—and led directly to an apprenticeship offer with Lloyds Banking Group.

Callum’s journey has been one of determination and growth. Starting with a Level 2 qualification to build foundational skills, he progressed to the T Level programme and thrived with the support of both Weston College and his employer. Callum also worked closely with the College’s ADHD support team, which helped him manage challenges and perform at his best.

Callum will now represent the South West in the Lloyds Banking Group National Final on Tuesday 3rd June 2025 in London, where one of four regional winners will be crowned the national T Level Student of the Year.

We are incredibly proud of Callum’s achievement and the inspiring example he sets for other learners. His story is a shining endorsement of the power of T Levels, industry placements, and the transformative support offered by Weston College.

Congratulations, Callum – and good luck in the finals!
