Mao joins the police force at age of 52 after exceptional GCSE grades!

We love learning about how our students' lives have been transformed by their exam grades and GCSE Results Day is one of the biggest days of the academic calendar for inspirational stories.

Step forward Mao Chen who, this morning, learned that he had got a Grade 9 in Maths and a Grade 7 in English Language, which has secured him a role as a Uniformed Police Officer with West Yorkshire Police and a chance to train to become a detective in two years' time.

Mao moved to the UK from China nine years ago so his son could experience the education system in the UK.

He did and is now preparing to study Sport, Exercise and Health Sciences at the University of Birmingham, having also completed his studies at York College this summer.

Thank you to the staff members from Blackpool FC Community Trust, Carlisle United Community Sports Trust and Accrington Stanley Community Trust for attending our first-ever Sub-Contracting Breakfast and Partner Engagement Day in our The Cookery training restaurant.

York College is overseeing the validation, funding and educational delivery of the three trusts and the day focused on collaboration, consistency and learner success.

The event, hosted by our new Curriculum Lead for Sub-Contracting & Partnerships Matthew Wain, was a fantastic opportunity to showcase our extensive support, including in areas such as Enrolment & Funding, Safeguarding & Learning Support, English & Maths Delivery and Quality Assurance & Standardisation.

As we continue to grow our subcontracting provision as a college, it is essential that we work together to establish a consistent, high-quality approach across all partner organisations.

And, by ensuring that expectations, processes and quality standards are understood and applied consistently, we can provide the best possible experience for learners, maintain compliance and drive positive outcomes across all areas.

We are very excited for what we will achieve together!

Congratulations to our former Level 3 Sports Coaching & Development student Calum Hudson, who made his professional football debut for Barnsley Football Club in their first game of the new EFL League 1 season against Bromley on Saturday.

Defender Calum, 19, came on as a substitute, having only joined the South Yorkshire outfit from Scarborough Athletic FC in June.

He completed his two-year York College course last summer and combined his studies with playing for our Football Development Centre team and representing the English Colleges' FA side.

Well done, Calum, and best of luck for the rest of the season!
