GCSE Results Day and What Next?

22 August 2024

This week is GCSE results week and we know how nerve wracking this is for learners who have worked so hard over the last two years.

There are so many options available for school leavers as they continue their educational journey. Here at the RNN Group – through our campuses Rotherham College, North Notts College and Dearne Valley College – we offer a huge choice of courses for learners.

The Group, through its Colleges, offer Level 1 to Level 3 courses as well as BTECs, Apprenticeships and T Levels in Animal Care, Digital, Construction, Engineering, Health and Education.

Rotherham College

Based in the heart of Rotherham’s town centre, Rotherham College specialises in Construction (with a brand new four-million-pound centre ready for learners this Autumn), Health and Childcare, Hair and Beauty, the Creative Arts, Performance, Business, Enterprise and Hospitality as well as career focused training and education including T Levels and Apprenticeships.

Last year, the College launched an exciting new course: BTEC Aviation which includes the opportunity for some real world flying experience.

Dearne Valley College

Located to the north of Rotherham, Dearne Valley College specialises in Animal Care and Land-based Industries, Esport and Sport as well as Motor Vehicle, Protective Services and the Caring Professions.

It has incredible facilities across the site including a MUGA, sports centre, low ropes course and salon as well as access to the local Manvers Lake outdoor site.

North Notts College

North Notts College is the provider of choice in the Bassetlaw region for a wide range of technical education – with a brand new T Level centre opening for students next month – development of specialist skills and a career focused approach across three main provisions: Creative Industries, Sustainability, Technology and Education, Care and Protective Services.

Support across each of our campuses

All three Colleges offer support with retaking Maths and English GCSE whilst you are starting your new course as well as Flexible Learning support for learners that need additional support with their learning.

College life is also an important part of the experience, and with clubs, activities and trips for learners to enjoy and develop personal and professional skills, as well as health, care and wellbeing support and your educational journey is complete at the RNN Group.

In addition, the Colleges provide a bus service for learners to access and this year the prices remain the same as last! We can also provide cost of living and financial support and advice for learners too.

Finally, we offer careers support for all prospective and current learners as we know that 75% of school leavers don’t know what they want to do for a career. So do visit our careers lounges at each of our sites or email the careers team at each site – Rotherham College, North Notts College or Dearne Valley College – to speak with them.

It’s not too late to apply so if you are considering your next steps but were undecided what to do next, it’s not too late to apply for a place at Rotherham College, North Notts College or Dearne Valley College.
