💬 Edward Wilson, who achieved an A* in History and a B in Mathematics and will study History at University of Warwick.
He said: "I'm just overjoyed with being accepted into my first-choice university and I'm grateful to Farnham College for this. I got: A* in History and B in Maths today, combined with a C in Physics I got last year.

💬 Milan Limbu achieved an A in Mathematics, A in Art and Design (3D Design and Architecture) and a C in Physics and will now enjoy a gap year as he has deferred entry to University of Southampton to study Mechanical Engineering/Automotive with Industrial Placement.
Milan said: "I thoroughly enjoyed all three subjects, but Maths was my favourite because it is just fascinating to apply numbers to real-life problems."
"Farnham College has some of the most helpful teachers I’ve ever met. They’re always willing to help. Personally, all of them encouraged me to achieve my goals.

Whether you're progressing to university, beginning an apprenticeship, starting your career or taking your next step with us, we wish you every success for the future.

A huge thank you to our fantastic staff, families and supporters who have helped our students reach this important milestone.

🎉💚 Happy 3rd Birthday, MindGreen! 💚🎉

This week we're celebrating three years of MindGreen and the incredible community that has grown around it.

What started with a simple call from our CEO, Gary Headland, for volunteers to form a committee has become a movement dedicated to supporting the wellbeing of our staff and students across Activate Learning.

In the past three years, MindGreen has:
💚 Raised more than £42,000
🌱 Reinvested over £34,000 into wellbeing resources and activities.

But MindGreen is about so much more than fundraising. It's about people coming together with a shared purpose to make a positive difference across our campuses.

A huge thank you to everyone who has volunteered, donated, partnered with us, shared their expertise or supported MindGreen along the way.

We'd also like to give a special thank you to our fantastic MindGreen staff and student ambassadors, whose passion and commitment help bring wellbeing initiatives to life across our colleges.

Happy third anniversary to everyone who has played a part in inspiring our learners, apprentices and staff through purpose and wellbeing.

Here's to Year 4! 💚
