At Trinity Catholic Sixth Form (T6) in Middlesbrough, performance indicators continue to show an upward trajectory.

Michael Blair, head of school at Trinity Catholic College, which includes T6, was delighted to see another improvement in results.

At A-Level, average point scores increased from 2024 to 2025. This improvement can clearly be seen in several subject areas. For example, 60% of students gained A*-B grades in English Literature, 66% achieved the same in History and 75% in Geography.

Attainment in A-Level Geography, History and Sociology increased to a praiseworthy B grade on average. The Extended Project Qualification (EPQ) is also thriving, with students typically achieving an A grade.

Additionally, students excelled in BTEC Health and Social Care, BTEC Sport and BTEC Engineering.

On average, those studying for a National Extended Certificate grade (Single Award) earned a Distinction. Those studying for a Diploma (Double Award) or an Extended Diploma (Triple Award) on average earned grades of at least a Merit.

Head of sixth form Phillip Scarr said:

“Our students have worked hard to achieve their personal best, and we couldn’t be prouder.
“Their results reflect not only their academic ability, but their determination and perseverance throughout their time with us.
“We equally recognise our exceptional T6 team. Their expertise and personal care creates an environment that allows our young people to flourish.
“I wish our Year 13 leavers every success in the next chapter of their lives.”
