Record-breaking Open Event

Bracknell & Wokingham College had a record Open Event on Saturday as potential students and their parents flocked to see its state-of-the-art facilities and talk to staff and students. Some 1300 visitors came through the doors and were treated to excerpts from the student panto and a three for the price of two offer on Starbucks drinks in the college’s Star Café.

New Principal Campbell Christie CBE gave standing room only talks to youngsters and their parents, ably supported by students Chris Edney from Travel & Tourism, Dave Pymble from Health & Social Care and Florence Hopper from A Levels.

The brand new prospectus featuring new courses starting September 2012 was released and visitors were able to apply for those courses as well as enrol on part-time courses for adults starting in January.

James Taylor, Director of Curriculum & Quality said:

“The day proved successful as ever with numerous prospective students coming to find out what was on offer. We had higher numbers than last year thanks in great part to our tremendous examination results* in the summer. If you want to succeed at A Level or in Level 3 vocational subjects, come to us. We can help you to achieve a result one grade higher than you might have expected from your GCSE grades. Why go anywhere else?
