Results are in...

Andy’s A level results came in this morning – a bit of a roller coaster really. The grades were not good, and it looked for a while as if he would not be going to Huddersfield, and so contacted London Metropolitan University (his backup choice), for which he did have the required number of points. They confirmed that his offer still stood.

He then checked with Huddersfield University by phone, who offered him the option of going there anyway to take a 2 year Foundation Course in Computer Games Programming & Design (instead of the more specialist Computer Games only course). He then gets the option (if he works hard!) to change over to the same point on the original degree programme at either the end of Year One, or on completion of the 2nd year, depending on which grades he gets.

He has decided to take up this option, and feels quite relieved that it seems to give him more flexibility, and maybe a gentler start onto a Higher Education Course. He does know, though, that he needs to be highly motivated to make it to the degree course, and so has a lot to challenge him! So Huddersfield, here he comes - we are going to get quite familiar with the M1 over the next few years.

Also many congrats to Rach and Mick – achieving the grades they needed - now off to Brighton and London; and also to Peter, who has achieved high enough grades in his first year to transfer to the Master’s Course at Loughborough – we’re also proud of you, too!

Thanks to all for your prayers. Much appreciated
