THIS year, 27 Activate Learning Farnham College students taking GCSE programmes achieved a pass grade after studying English and/or maths at GCSE level.

Many of the college’s GCSE students are learners who need to retake maths, English or both, in order to continue in education.

Jack Roberts,16, achieved a grade 4 in his English GCSE and said: “It’s a huge relief. I’m so grateful to my teacher, Carmen Harvey-Browne, for all her support and encouragement.

“I’m now able to apply for a place at university once I’ve finished my Level 3 programmes in gaming, IT and applied psychology at Farnham College.”

Cameron McEwen, 18, achieved grades 4 and 3 respectively in English and maths and has been accepted by the Royal Navy to train as a ‘Warfare Specialist’ as part of the Protection Fleet.

He had to complete a series of psychometric tests with the Royal Navy and has been offered this exclusive role due to his exceptional scores in the tests and because of his grades at Farnham College.

Both he and his father are absolutely delighted, and Cameron is very grateful for all the support he has received whilst studying at Farnham College.

Head of Farnham College, Neil Brookes, said: “Students have been through another extraordinary year. They have worked amazingly well in demonstrating their skills and knowledge in a variety of ways that will stand them in good stead for the next stage of their journey.”
