Question to the Department for Education:

To ask His Majesty's Government what was the average GCSE score for students in England studying (1) A levels, (2) Applied Generals, (3) a combination of A levels and Applied Generals, and (4) T levels, in the last year for which data are available.

​​The average GCSE points of students that took A level examinations was 6.47. For those that took applied general examinations, it was 4.90, and for those that took both A level and applied general, it was 5.42. The number of students taking A levels was 284,380, the numbers taking applied general was 119,853, and the numbers that took both A level and applied general examinations was 61,024.

​Figures are based on students at the end of 16 to 18 study in 2021/22 and derived from data underpinning the ‘A level and other 16 to 18 results’ statistical release. This statistical release is available at: https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/a-level-and-other-16-to-18-results-2022-revised.

​Transparency data for T Levels was published on the first T Level results day on 18 August 2022. This is based on information reported to the Department through the manage T Level results service, but does not include data on student prior attainment at Key Stage 4. This data is available at: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/t-level-results-academic-year-2021-to-2022-provisional.​

​Attainment data for T Levels will be published for the 2023/24 cohort of students, the first year that T Levels will be included in school and college accountability measures.
