Information for students joining us in September
Following the Government announcement of school and college closures, and the cancelled GCSE exams, we wanted to reach out to confirm our position for all those looking to join the College in September.
GCSE exams
Currently we have only received the same information that has been released by the Department for Education to the general public. We, therefore, understand that GCSEs are likely to be graded based on tutor assessment and coursework. We are waiting for more detailed guidance from the Government regarding exactly how the assessment and grading of GCSE's will be and as soon as this is confirmed we will communicate via our website and social media channels on how we will approach this.
Information for our offer holders
We consider all student applications on their individual merit, we can assure you that there is no reason why the current disruption would jeopardise your place at Weston College. We can therefore confirm that all students that currently have a conditional offer will now have an unconditional offer in your chosen area of study. We will be working with you and your school to ensure your transition from school to college is as smooth as possible in these undefined times.
Information for those waiting to be interviewed or yet to apply
Once we’ve received your application, a member of our team will be in touch to arrange a careers and guidance discussion over the telephone. Our message to you, is please don’t worry, you will be offered a place at Weston College for September.
We will continue to stay in touch with you over the coming weeks and months via emails, our website, social media and telephone. We also hope to be able to run events such as Welcome Days and Taster events; however these events are of course subject to the College buildings reopening and for it being safe for students to attend. We are therefore working to develop additional online resources to provide you, your parents and advisers the opportunity to speak to staff, learn more about our programmes of study and get a flavour of life at Weston College.
If you have any queries about your application, please contact our College Information Services department on 01934 411481 or via enquiries@weston.ac.uk.
To all our existing and future applicants, please be reassured that you have secured a place with us for the 2020-21 academic year and that we reconfirm our commitment to you as a future Weston College learner and look forward to helping you to create your brighter future.
