Celebrating T Levels: Situ and Exeter College Working Together
At Situ – The Global Accommodation Agency – they are passionate about supporting young talent and fostering growth in the industry. Since 2008, they have been connecting businesses and organisations with tailored accommodation solutions in over 144 countries. Their mission is to make every stay perfect, whether it’s for one trip or an entire team’s plan.
This commitment to people is why collaborating with Exeter College for T Levels has been such an exciting journey. We spoke to the team at Situ, to find out more.
Discovering T Levels
When we first heard about T Levels, we saw an incredible opportunity to partner with local educational institutions and nurture young talent. After engaging with Exeter College’s enthusiastic team, we participated in a pitch and interview day. It was a smooth and inspiring process that led us to welcome Tom (pictured middle of back row), a Business T Level student, to Situ.
The Value of a T Level Placement
Having a T Level student has brought fresh perspectives and valuable support to our team. Tom’s eagerness to learn has enabled us to dive deeper into certain projects while maintaining our dedication to clients, suppliers, and guests. It’s a win-win: Tom gains hands-on experience in the corporate world, and we benefit from his skills and enthusiasm.
Tom’s Role at Situ
Tom has contributed to a variety of tasks across our Guest Care and Supply Chain departments, including administrative and data-led projects. He’s also shadowed other teams to gain a comprehensive understanding of how our business operates.
Building Skills for the Future
One of the most rewarding aspects of this experience has been watching Tom develop professionally. By collaborating with different departments and experiencing the day-to-day rhythm of an office, he’s gained insights into teamwork and corporate goal-setting. His exceptional communication and writing skills, combined with his quick learning ability, make him stand out as a future star.
Why We Recommend T Level Placements
Hosting a T Level student has been a fantastic experience for Situ. It’s an opportunity to give back to the local community, support young people as they start their careers, and create a pipeline of future talent. Our advice to other employers? Don’t underestimate these students’ potential! Give them diverse opportunities, and you’ll be amazed at how they rise to the occasion.
What’s Next?
Would we host another T Level student? Supporting local students aligns perfectly with our goals of nurturing talent and fostering collaboration so we hope we can continue this in the future.
If you’re a student interested in joining us at Situ, we’d love to hear from you!

Exeter College Shines with Impressive A Level Exam Results
Exeter College students are celebrating exceptional achievements, marked by remarkable A Level results. The College’s overall A Level pass rate was 99.5%, ahead of the national average of 97%, with 26 A Level subjects achieving a remarkable 100% pass rate, exceeding even last year’s outcome.
57% of A Level grades were at the highest A*, A or B, classified as ‘high grades’, exceeding the national average. A*-C grades were also impressive with 83% of students achieving these grades, with the national average sitting at 76%.
The College’s innovative and unique educational approach, which includes a rigorous externally set and marked AS exam in the first year, has played a significant role in the success of these outcomes. This approach, combined with the College’s bespoke “Extend” and “Excel” offer, has empowered students to excel across the full spectrum of A Level subjects.
Billie Stokes, Assistant Principal at Exeter College expressed how proud she is of A Level learners, saying;
“Our A Level learners have achieved excellent results, and we are immensely proud of their hard work, commitment, and resilience. We believe that our wide and diverse A Level offer, taught by exceptional teachers, provide our learners with the best opportunities for success. The learners dedication has truly paid off, and we wish them every success as they embark on the next steps of their journey.”
CC Addison took A Levels in Biology, Maths and PE and is going to the University of Birmingham.
Across the country last week, students studying A Levels collected their results. One of those students was CC Addison who took A Levels in Biology, Maths and PE.
“I’ve got an A* in PE and A in Maths and Biology, I am very happy with that. I’m going to the University of Birmingham to do Physiotherapy. The goal is to be a Sport Physiotherapist.
“Exeter College is really good for preparing you for university, because you are quite independent, it’s very similar (to university), it’s a bigger step away from school.”
The College has a uniquely broad A Level offer and students excelled across the spectrum of subjects. In nine different subjects more than a third of students achieved an A or an A*. In Fine Art 79% of students achieved a high grade with 43% at A or A*, over a quarter of the students achieved the very highest A* grade. Graphic Design also saw success with 91% of students achieving high grades. Science results were exceptional, in Chemistry 39% of students achieved an A or an A*, while in Biology 35% achieved an A or an A* with 9% achieving the top A* grade, in both subjects over 60% of students secured a high grade.

Jakin Talbot (pictured above) who took A Levels in Maths, Psychology and English Literature achieved A*, A, A and is going to Cardiff University to study Law. He has loved the opportunities College has given him, saying;
“I have really enjoyed the extra curricular activities. I was able to be part of Reach Academy which was brilliant and vital for where I found all my friends. Doing some of the sports clubs as well and getting to do things that I couldn’t do at secondary school, that was really nice.”
English Literature saw 60% of students achieve a high grade with a quarter of students achieving an A or an A*.
Issi Marklew (pictured above, second from left) studied A Levels in English Literature, Biology and Chemistry. Izzy is now heading to the University of Oxford to study English Literature. She got an A*, A and B.
“I really enjoyed English Literature at GCSE and I chose it to balance out the Sciences I picked, but then I realised Literature was my real passion. All my teaching was brilliant, but in English particularly it really made me excited to study it and I had great support to get me to Oxford University to continue my studies.”
In Law and Mathematics 62% of students achieved high grades, with 36% in both subjects achieving an A or an A*. In Further Maths, 32% of students achieved the highest A* grade.
Music A Level, not commonly offered in state providers, and often part of the offer in private schools, achieved the remarkable feat of 100% of students achieving high grades and 55% scoring an A or A*.
Ayomide Okesola (pictured above) studied A Level Business, Psychology, and a BTEC in IT. She is now progressing to do a Level 5 Apprenticeship in Project Management at Exeter College.
“I’ve got an A in Psychology, A in Business and Distinction* in BTEC IT, so I am pretty pleased. It’s been a lot of hard work; sleepless nights, effort, and tears of joy have gone into these two years, to come out like this is amazing for me… I am proud of myself.
“What I love about college is I do really enjoy my subjects, learning has been a real pleasure, I was looking forward to coming to college every single day. What I enjoyed most were the EXtra things I get to do on top of my studies, just being involved and knowing I am a part of this college. As much as I am receiving an education I am contributing to the development of the college, that has brought me a lot of satisfaction.”
Students in their first year, taking AS exams, have also excelled. Mathematics saw 46% of students achieving the very highest grades, with 42% of Classics students also achieving an A*, A or B and an amazing 62% of Spanish students falling into that bracket too.
In the creative subjects, students studying Drama and Theatre Arts and Film Studies excelled with 61% and 68% of students receiving high grades. This success in our AS subjects shows how these exams help to build confidence and prepare students for their A2 exams.
One student collecting AS results was Honey Forty (pictured above), studying English Language, French and Geography, getting a brilliant A, A, B. Honey volunteers for Radio Exe and says it’s easy to love what you’re doing when you’re doing your passion.
“I chose these subjects because I want to be a journalist and have a passion for communication and connecting with people. So, French and Geography will allow me to travel the world and with English I can write about it. The teachers have been fantastic, and I’ve bonded with my classmates. I’ve found my people here.”
Exeter College and the College governors would like to thank and congratulate the class of 2024 and thanks staff, parents, and partners for making this another year to celebrate.

As a result, two years ago, their GCSE results were adjusted to recognise the immense impact of that period. Despite this, they have achieved results that have exceeded 2019 pre pandemic benchmarks. As Principal and CEO, I simply want to congratulate them and to wish them well for the future.”
Jade Otty, Vice Principal at Exeter College congratulated students and staff on this year’s achievements. She said;

Speaking about her experience at College she said,
“My sister came to college here and raved about it, it’s served me well with my results, it’s a great campus, and its right in the middle of town.

Exeter College and the College governors would like to thank and congratulate the class of 2024 and thanks staff, parents, and partners for making this another year to celebrate.
Students Triumph in Accountancy and Cyber Security at National WorldSkills Competition
Students from Exeter College recently made their way to the WorldSkills National Finals in Manchester to compete against thousands of young individuals and teams in the ultimate test of their ability.
WorldSkills supports young people across the world via competitions-based training, assessment and benchmarking, with members’ national teams competing to achieve world-class standards in the biennial ‘skills olympics’.
Exeter College was represented in Cyber Skills and Accounting. Lucy Doyle, Ashleigh Chambers and Christian Jones, studied a Level 3 and 4 Apprenticeship in Accountancy with the College and are now Accounting Trainees with Simpkins Edwards LLP. Their team ‘Surpassing Expectations’ came away with Gold. Emily Medland, Jack McAllister and Joanne Rogers also competed in this category.
The accountancy team were given 4.5 hours to prepare a presentation based on a zero-waste grocery shop. The following day they then presented to a panel of judges including representatives from Kaplan and the ICAEW.
Lucy Doyle said;
“We are all incredibly grateful for the opportunity to enter this competition and have learnt invaluable skills which we will carry with us through our everyday and working lives.”

Programme Leader at Exeter College, Julie Rawle, said;
“The Accountancy delivery team at Exeter College are proud to have contributed to ‘Surpassing Expectations’ success. The competitors were asked to complete a case study for an ethics focused business that was looking to expand. They made full use of their AAT level 3 and 4 knowledge, including sustainability, CSR, SWOT and PESTLE analysis, to win gold in the Accounting Technician category. Congratulations to Ashleigh, Lucy and Christian!“
Connor and Luke with their Bronze WorldSkills medals
Second years Connor Pester and Luke Mcstravick are studying the T Level in Digital Support Services and came away from the competition with a bronze medal after competing against some of the leading bright talent in their field. The skills that they have developed on the T Level have helped prepare them for this competition, with the IT faculty providing mentoring and technical input at each stage of their journey.
At the competition they were tested on subjects relating to Cyber Security (ranging from Security Operations Center (or SOC) knowledge to Cisco Packet Tracer experience) and had to undertake both offensive and defensive cyber tasks that mirror real world experience.
LukeMcstravick said;
“The competition was fierce as we had worked our way up from entry-level, where we faced 200 teams; to semi-finals where we faced 30 teams until we reached the finals where there were only 5 teams left.
“I believe what I enjoyed the most from the experience was being able to meet like-minded people to myself and Connor, which allowed me to make some, potentially, life-long friendships and memories. The memento of my medal will forever remind me of my wonderful experience competing up in Manchester for the WorldSkills 2023 Finals.”
Luke is completing his T Level industry placement with Mid Devon District Council and says;
“I couldn’t ask for a higher quality or quantity of knowledge and experience. I learn skills there that will very much be applicable to my future profession in IT and beyond and I am treated with respect.”
Connor is undertaking his industry placement with Securious based at the Exeter Science Park and will be one of the first in his cohort to complete the required hours for the T Level.
Top Class Results for Exeter College Construction Students
Exeter College students completing their Construction T Level in Design, Surveying and Planning have achieved fantastic results, with 100% pass rate and top progression into employment or higher level study in the industry.
Sixth form students at the College can study a wide range of T Levels that combine classroom theory, practical learning and a three month industry placement to ensure students have the skills to thrive in the world of work.
This year’s Construction cohort have excelled both in their studies and placements and have also benefitted from a rich variety of experiences during their time at College. For example, a visit to the Glendinning quarry at Linhay Hill allowed students to find out about new technology which helps to increase the sustainability of quarrying. Students have also gained valuable insights into the industry through presentations and workshops by guest speakers, such as the Morgan Sindall Group.
Joseph is now studying for a Degree Apprenticeship.
Students have gone on to secure excellent higher education and employment opportunities. For example, Joseph Bartlett (pictured above) is now studying for a Degree Apprenticeship in Quantity Surveying with Ward Williams Associates, where he completed his placement.
Joseph said; “I’ve started my Degree Apprenticeship already, and I’ll be doing that for five years. My Exeter College experience has been great; I would recommend the T Level as you can use what you’re learning in class straightaway and put it into practice on your industry placement.”
Students visit Glendinning Quarry at Linhay Hill
The success of the T Level Construction students mirrors a highly successful year all round for technical and vocational students at Exeter College. These students use technical or vocational subjects as their passport to university, to an Apprenticeship, to their next level of study or directly into employment.

Exceptional Exeter College once again awarded “Outstanding” by Ofsted
Exeter College is celebrating after a full Ofsted Inspection, which has resulted in the College retaining the impressive accolade of Outstanding.
Eight years since its last inspection Ofsted again confirmed that Exeter College is an Outstanding College. The College also scored the top assessment of ‘strong’ for its approach to meeting the skills needs of the area. This makes Exeter College the first college in the country to achieve the highest judgement in both elements of Ofsted’s new enhanced inspections.
The 21-strong Ofsted inspection team visited every College site and reviewed every facet of the College offer from 29 November to 2 December 2022.
Exeter College Principal and CEO, John Laramy CBE said:
“At a time when the national press is talking about Ofsted raising the bar for their top grade the team at Exeter College has demonstrated that we have sustained Outstanding, even in the new rigorous enhanced framework.
“I would like to wholeheartedly thank everyone who contributed to this exceptional sector-leading outcome, especially our amazing learners, apprentices, staff and governors. Ofsted has recognised what I see from our students, apprentices and staff every single day.”
Students and staff celebrating their Ofsted Outstanding rating.
Bindu Arjoon, Chair of the Board of Governors, added:
“We are delighted that the hard work of everyone at the College has been recognised in this way. On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank all the students, staff and stakeholders for their personal contribution to our Outstanding College.”
The College achieved the top Ofsted rating of Outstanding in all four cross-college judgements; Quality of Education, Behaviour and Attitudes, Personal Development and Leadership and Management. The College’s Sixth Form provision, adult learning and apprenticeships were also rated as Outstanding. The Outstanding grade for apprenticeships is extremely hard to achieve, with very few colleges nationally having achieved this.
The report praises the standard of teaching and learning across the College as well as the standards of behaviour and culture, citing that teachers and other staff are excellent role models who work tirelessly to meet the needs of learners.
Zakia Volschenk, from Exmouth, is studying A Levels at Exeter College and is part of the Learner Leadership Team. Speaking about the Outstanding grade, she said:
“I believe it’s well-deserved and feel extremely proud to be a part of a constantly developing institution that really takes into consideration the student’s opinions. I know that the opportunities at Exeter College will give me an advantage when it comes to applying to university or finding future jobs.”
As national exams returned last year, Ofsted’s inspection included scrutinising learner results and outcomes in exams. This meant that the summer’s record-breaking A Level results and top 10% value added performance were assessed as part of the inspection process.
Jade Otty, Vice Principal and Ofsted Quality Nominee, said:
“I am so pleased that the exceptional work of our teachers and support staff has been recognised by Ofsted. The College is Outstanding thanks to their expertise, care and commitment. I am proud too that this report reflects how amazing our learners and apprentices are in working with us to create a college community in which everyone can thrive and develop. We were also delighted that the report credited the support and work of our community and industry partners”
The new Education Inspection Framework (EIF) came into force in September 2019. This rigorous inspection framework means fewer schools and colleges have been awarded outstanding nationally.
Ofsted’s new enhanced inspections of Further Education providers and Sixth Form colleges came into force in September 2022. It means that in addition to the EIF focus on Quality of Education, colleges are also judged on how well they link with community, civic, industry and education partners to meet their region’s skills needs.
Exeter College is the first college in the country to receive the top grade of Outstanding and the top grade of ‘strong contribution’ to skills needs.

Head of Faculty for Engineering at Exeter College, Andy Wells said;
“We are incredibly excited to be able to offer our students this unique opportunity. The time spent with Hepco will be invaluable and will place our students a head above the rest when venturing into the world of work.
“It is hoped that this Academy will create a pipeline for talent spotting and recruitment – feeding learners directly into jobs in industry. We believe it will enhance the already great reputation that HepcoMotion holds in the local community and nationally and we cannot wait to get started.”
Head of Learning Development and Apprenticeships at HepcoMotion, Maurice Porter said;
“Hepco is pleased to build on its successful training programmes and apprenticeships by introducing The Hepco Academy in partnership with Exeter College. This exciting development will strengthen our partnership with the College and further develop our training for Hepco employees.”
