Furness College Principal explains how we’re here to help – no matter your result

Andrew Wren, Principal and Chief Executive of Furness College, said: “We know it can be a nervous time when students get their GCSE grades – particularly after such a long wait – but our advice is not to panic, whatever your grades.

“Lots of students will be smiling today as they get the grades they need for their first-choice next step, whether that’s college or an apprenticeship, but if you’ve not got the results you wanted the key thing is to seek advice as early as possible.

“Don’t be put off and think education is not right for you. Many people have gone on to great careers after getting modest GCSEs grades and, for some, it has even spurred them on to achieve at the highest level.

“Furness College in a brilliant position to help students because we have the biggest choice of qualifications in Cumbria, with a course for every learner. So whether they enjoy the practical side of learning and want to study a vocational course at our state-of-the-art Channelside campus, or want to develop academic skills in the classroom studying A levels at Barrow Sixth Form College, we can support them every step of the way.

“Our staff are experts at listening to young people’s aims and ambitions and can help find courses to put them on track to their ultimate career goal. Our staff are in college over the summer to help out, or students can contact us via our Facebook page for any last-minute questions they have about their grades or course choices. Whatever your grades, we can help you Say Yes to Success.

“Call us today, drop in at either of our campuses or come along to our September advice sessions. It’s not too late to apply to Furness College.”
