What’s more, if your English or maths results didn’t live up to expectations, you can study to resit these qualifications alongside the course of your choice so that you don’t have to waste time repeating a year like you might have to do elsewhere.

Philip Grant, Head of 16-19 at Blackpool and The Fylde College says: “It’s been fantastic to get back to face-to-face teaching after nearly two years of disruption. This has also meant we have been able to host open events and taster sessions on site which we know from experience positively impacts students’ and parents’ perception of the College. We have some amazing facilities here which can only be really appreciated in person and which together with our industry-related curriculums and expert tutors means we can deliver the kind of professional and technical education which prepares students not only for higher education but also for their future careers.

“On results day, our message to parents is that we have trained advisors standing by to help you and your child make the choices that work for them no matter what they have achieved so far. Our aim is always to make the next stage of their educational journey an engaging and rewarding one and we look forward to providing them with that opportunity.”
