Just got your exam results? What now?

ONCE A-level and GCSE results are released this summer, for many it can be a tense time as their future plans will rely on the outcome.

Bosworth Independent College is happy to offer impartial advice to any students who may have performed better or worse than expected – always hopeful it can help!

Principal, Fiona Pocock, loves to relate the story of a young man who visited the college hopeful that he’d be offered a place to study. Instead, she advised he knock a little harder on an alternative university’s door and, hey presto, was offered a place on the very course he wanted. It happened to be Marine Biology so perhaps she should have suggested ‘he fish in other seas’.

Every year students, often accompanied by their parents, like to visit because they have not achieved the results they had hoped for at both GCSE and A-level. This has often scuppered their plans for university or for their progression to A-level. In each individual’s case Bosworth likes to offer solutions. The college is happy to offer guidance as to the best course of action and next steps to take and believes in second chances, tempered with realism and nearly always succeeds in identifying at least one alternative pathway to progression.

With a fresh approach, a willingness to listen and a flexible timetable, Bosworth finds that students have the confidence to focus on their study plan and succeed. In fact, 87 per cent of students achieve either their firm or insurance university choice.

So, whether you have performed better than expected or missed out on the grades you had hoped for, Bosworth Independent College would like to help. The college always looks to offer a flexible approach across: GCSE/UFP and A-level courses or can look at part-time options. There’s also another route to university with the one and two-year BTEC Business Course for those who may want to consider a modular approach to learning as opposed to an end of year exam.

Alongside this, Bosworth has scholarship places for outstanding students. Students who have achieved at least five A* or seven-plus grades at GCSE are considered to be outstanding and are welcome to come and find out what the college can offer. Small class sizes and experienced teaching staff offer the space and time required to excel. And excellent academic support is only one part of the offering. There’s so much more; the opportunity to make friends from all around the world, to grow in confidence, to savour and satisfy curiosity and to contribute to a small caring community.

The study approach and clear guidance for university progression truly helps students to attain a place at a top 30 UK university, or on even the most competitive degree courses. The vibrant Oxbridge and Medical Preparation programmes encourage students who have high academic aspirations while supportive staff steer them through the sometimes challenging application process.

If your results are just below what you required for your university of choice, talk to Bosworth College about how it can help you increase your UCAS tariff points to fulfil your goals. If you need to retake a GCSE in Maths or English alongside your first year of A-levels then this too is something the flexible timetable will allow.
