“For me, my main achievement here is being able to get a degree even when I have four children. It’s not been easy, but I love it. One very good thing is that the College lines up the term days with the local primary and secondary schools. When my children are on half-term, I always have reading week so it is easy for me as a parent to be able to be with my children. It’s really been helpful. I think more parents will be able to access their courses here, even when they can’t go to universities. Other schools don’t have that flexibility.”
