Year 10 students get an insight into Rochdale Sixth Form College life

Rochdale Sixth Form College

Over 700 Year 10 pupils from local schools hoping to continue their studies at Rochdale Sixth Form College, visited the college for a three day taster event to get an invaluable insight into A Level life.

Prospective students from Middleton Technology, Oulder Hill, Wardle, Siddal Moor, Holy Family, Hollingworth and Matthew Moss High Schools, picked out subjects they are hoping to study at A Level, and attended classes, as they would at the college.

In between the taster classes, the pupils were able to visit the on-site café, which serves a selection of hot food and Starbucks coffee, have a look around the college facilities – including the theatre and sports hall, and chat to staff and students to get a feel for life at Rochdale Sixth Form College.

Angela Rudd, Senior College Administrator at Rochdale Sixth Form College comments: “The event was an all-round success, and each and every prospective student took a lot away from their College visit.

"Having visited our state of the art facilities and after meeting staff and students – these pupils will now be able to make an informed decision on where to apply to study for their A Levels, and we hope to see many of them back in 2013.”
