Anoop Bhachu from Bedworth achieved three Distinction star grades for her fashion programme and was surprised and delighted with her results. Anoop said, “I really enjoyed studying fashion at college and now I'm going to continue with the same subject at Nottingham Trent University. I am so excited, I have already started packing.
“Ideally, I will work in clothing design in the future and would love to set up my own business. I am particularly inspired by gender neutral fashion styles and like brands such as Vivienne Westwood which pushes the boundaries.”
Katie James from Nuneaton was ‘really happy’ with her top Distinction star grades for her sport qualification. Katie said, “I am not sure yet what my future plans will be, but I really want to travel and aim to join Camp Canada next year and teach outdoor exercise and physical training. I am really looking forward to seeing the fantastic scenery in Canada. In the meantime, I have a job as a fitness instructor at Empire Gym in Nuneaton. I became committed to fitness after I went running every night during the pandemic lockdown which helped to keep me sane.”
Students celebrating their A Level and BTEC results are being supported online by NWSLC and by phone with staff standing by to help with enquiries about next steps and options for higher education places.
Marion Plant, OBE FCGI, Principal and Chief Executive of NWSLC said, “Congratulations to all our students collecting their result today and especially to those who achieved the highest possible grades.
“We’re standing by to help students who have not yet decided on their next steps and can offer them the chance to remain with the college for their higher education journey. Our fees are lower than those for the majority of university-based courses and enable students to stay local. With the cost of living on the increase, it makes sense to look at higher education options that offer good value for money.
“Our small class sizes and flexible study patterns cater for mature students who might be returning to education to change career direction, improve career progression opportunities or renter the job market following redundancy.
“Student satisfaction with the NWSLC higher education experience remains significantly ahead of the wider sector and when compared with other regional higher education providers and our local competitors. In the results of this year’s National Student Survey, the college’s HE provision was particularly noted for its teaching, assessment feedback, student voice activities, access to information on mental wellbeing, and opportunities to express their ideas.”
