GCSE Results Day & Enrolment Q&A
We’ve pulled together some useful Q&As to hopefully answer any queries you may have about the day.
If you do not achieve the exam results you were hoping for, it is important you still attend or contact us and we will help you to enrol on to another suitable course. We offer a number of courses at different levels, so try not to worry, there will be a course for you at the College.
If your exam results are better than you had expected (well done you!), we will refer you to a suitable course depending on your grades.
Unfortunately not. This year, we have received an unprecedented volume of applications and despite significant efforts to increase capacity in terms of teaching spaces and staffing, we are now in a position where demand has begun to outweigh the volume of places available in the college.
