Andover College celebrated another year of achievement as students collected their A Level, T level and BTEC results today (14 August). There was a huge sense of pride and celebration from staff, students and parents as students came to collect their results, celebrated with their peers, family and friends and enjoyed complimentary coffee and sweet treats.
Andover College (part of Sparsholt College Group) has been a notable adopter of the T-level qualifications since their inception.

Across both years of Criminology, 100% of learners achieved.
In T-level Onsite Construction, learners receiving their qualifications have progressed into careers within the industry and are well placed to advance in their chosen field whilst Adult Nursing and Early Years achieved exceptional outcomes.

Ben Stokes, Vice Principal, Curriculum Andover said:
“Results Day is always one of the highlights of our year – it’s the moment we get to see our students’ hard work, determination and ambition come to life. Whether today brings celebration, surprise or a change of direction, every learner here has achieved something remarkable. The skills, resilience and confidence they’ve built at Andover College will carry them far beyond the classroom, and we’re excited to see how they shape their futures. This is just the beginning, and we couldn’t be prouder.”
