The new Education and Childcare T Level is a ground-breaking two-year Level 3 study programme that will offer you a mixture of classroom-based learning and ‘on-the-job’ experience through an extended industry placement of 45-days minimum with a sector employer. Areas of study include children’s development and early education; relationship development; play and educational opportunities; and the health, safety and wellbeing of children. Study is supported with visits and guest speakers including alumni and primary school teacher Janine Parrington on Industry Careers Day.
Rose Parsons achieved a Grade A in her qualification, progressing on to Liverpool Hope University to study Early Childhood and Special Educational Needs.
