No it’s a unserious college. While I haven’t been there I’ve never heard anything good from it. LAET is probably the best college near it.

I didnt end up joining but I went to the enrollment day and Im going to be honest it seems rubbish and was rated very poorly in terms of education by ofsted. I would not reccommend going.

Im a bit surprised that its the only school offering you to resit your year 13. I have heard of colleges that are willing to take on resits for year 12 & 13 so maybe you havent looked around enough? For me I moved schools to resit year 12 & I think I applied to at least 13 schools & I remember it was REALLY hard to find a place & I had to do a lot of looking around to find one. I think you should also think about appealing if you cant find a place anywhere (that was my backup plan, at least). Your last resort would have to be self teaching though thats not exactly ideal & depends on the grades you got at A2.

Isn't science across exam boards all very similar though? I know aqa and ocr are quite similar. I'd rather be able to Retake w a diff exam board than self teach tbh. If you appeal you'd have to be appealing a place for a school you've been rejected from. There's a page on it here . Every individual school has its way of appealing and you might find a page on that on a schools page for example here's harris academy tottenhams one . Lmk if the urls I've inserted work or not.

I'd say try appealing. If it doesn't work, then your last resort is just haringey college after all something is better than nothing

Gov.uk page about appealing has all the info you need. Also look into individual schl pages sections abt appealing, I can't help u directly cause I've never appealed in my life, only thought abt it
