Clearing, Returning Items and Your Destinations

<< Back to all news

Hello everyone,I hope you are all getting on well out there. We are all still working at college and we are all here to help you if you haven’t got a clear plan for next year. Do get in touch with your tutor if you need help.We are getting towards the end of what would have been the Summer Term. This means that there are a few things that need sorting out before you move on to your next step:Returning ItemsAt the end of your Second Year we would usually ask you to ‘clear’ which involves you returning any college property and ‘signing off’. As much as we would love to see you all, we are not able to put a process like this into place for this year. We do, however, need to ask for all college items to be returned so that we can prepare for next year.Items you may have could include, but not limited to:

  • Textbooks, books or revision guides
  • Technical equipment
  • Laptops or other IT equipment
  • Fieldwork equipment (Geography)
  • Any outstanding Wyke Extra-curricular Team kit
  • Locker keys (you may need to empty your locker or items will be removed over summer)
  • Lift keys
  • Library books or learning support materials

If you have any college property, can you please collate this and then there are two options:

  1. Drop off at the college reception, any time between 9am and 3pm between the 2nd-10th July(excluding Wednesday, 8th July)
  2. Drop off at a ‘collection hub’ (Wyke minibus) that is more local to you (times and drop off points are below)

You will find out your final results on results day:13 August 2020 – A Level and Level 3 BTEC Nationals and Level 3 Technical20 August 2020 – GCSE Level 2 BTEC Firsts/Tech Awards and Level 2 BTEC Technical.We will not issue results over the telephone (without prior arrangement). If you want someone else to collect your results for you, they will require a letter of authorisation and their own photographic ID in order to do so. If you do not collect them we will only post them to you if you leave a stamped addressed envelope marked “Examination Results”. Please hand the stamped addressed envelope into the main office before the 10th July. Write on the front of the envelope whether it is for A Level or GCSE results.More information about these events will be released closer to the time.Your DestinationWhether it be university, employment or further vocational study, we need (and like) to know where you are intending to go to after the summer.
