thanks for that

Glad you enjoyed the day
We had two days off whilst you were inducted, wahey.
Yeah, there pretty lenient with grades though. I swear theres hundreds out of catchment, its only courses like A Level photography that out of catchment find it hard to get into.
But yeah its probably the best big sixth form college in the area, its doubled in size and its rather huge

Im starting there this august/september!!! I had my induction yesterday. it was really good. There was loads of people from out of colchester, but if you dont go to a 'partner school' or live in the catchment area then you are less likely to get in because these people get priority. Also, this guy in my form wanted to change his a level choices yesterday but my tutor said he might not be able to, again because he doesnt get priority.

http://www.colchsfc.ac.uk/policies/index.cfm This explains the admissions policy.

To do 4 as levels you need 7 A*-C grades (with at least a few Bs or better), and to do 5 you need 8 or 9 A*-B grades. Quite high entry requirements compared to other places. Hope this helps!

What form are you in?

Errrrrm Ive forgotten lol its written down somewhere Ill find out later if I remember!! What form are you in?

and thanks for all your help Bexx!!

Oh yeah, I forgot to ask, are they lenient with the grades that you need for the courses aswell? Because I need a B in chemistry to do chemistry, but I kinda mucked up the exam and Im scared that I wont get a B and they won't let me take it!!

Yeah they, they act like they aren't but really they are. If you miss the grade you have an interview and you just need to act passionate about the subject(s)

oh ok good because i need thta subject for my career!!
