All students do sit the same GCSE examinations as other schools in English language, English literature, and mathematics. The table below shows the 2023 outcomes.                

Published data for student destinations is always ‘lagged data’ from previous years as students’ destinations need to be sustained (staying in education or employment for a minimum of two terms after leaving). 

The most recent published data, allowing comparison with local authority and national averages, is reproduced below.

Students who took their A Levels in 2023 received teacher assessed grades in 2021. They did not sit GCSE examinations. As a result, the government have not calculated or published progress measures for 2023 A Level results. The most recent published data, allowing comparison with local authority and national averages, is based on 2022 outcomes.

Results in 2022 were (on a national basis) higher than those achieved in 2019, which was the last ‘normal’ year for A Level examinations. In 2022, the examination boards made some concessions to reflect the disadvantages that students had encountered due to Covid. 

In 2023 the exams and the grade boundaries returned to pre-Covid levels, in line with 2019. The number of A* and A grades achieved was significantly lower than 2022 (both nationally and at Lincoln UTC).

Lincoln UTC’s progress scores over the last four years, in which scores were published ranged between +0.33 and +0.63. Highest performing school in Lincolnshire in three out of these 4 years. Fourth highest (out of forty-two providers) in the one year when we didn’t top the Lincolnshire table. 

The DfE have not published 2023 results for A Levels. The performance tables data (above) shows 2019 results. Our 2019 A Level results were appreciably better than national average but not significantly better. They weren’t statistically significantly better due to the small cohort size in that year (only 13 A Level students). The progress score of +0.33 was the highest in Lincolnshire. 

2023 A Level results were down on 2022 (fewer top grades) but exactly the same as the 2019 outcomes, above. Average A Level point score in both 2019 and 2023 was 27.5 (grade C-). 

Approximately half of Lincoln UTC’s students specialise in engineering, either on the extended BTEC or the new T Level qualification. Students on these pathways have done exceptionally well (actually better than last year) with 100% pass rate and 56% achieving distinction grades. A high proportion of the engineering students go on to well-paid apprenticeships but, for those who had applied for university places, every single student has been accepted by their first-choice university.
