College in Northampton

“Very accommodating and a great place to start your higher education, helpful staff that are always available to answer any queries.”

“I attended this school as a child up until I moved to Canada. My older sister who is in her early 40’s was one of the first high school students. I have a 10 year old daughter who will soon attend the school. Amazing education. Amazing experiences.”

“The AJ Art Club with Milly is brilliant. Both of my boys really enjoyed going there each week and always looked forward to it. They loved the freedom of having some unstructured time to try out lots of different activities. Their favourite was working with clay. Milly is very kind and has a wonderful connection with the children. I would highly recommend it.”

“Went for 4 wheel laser alignment of car's geometry. Was allowed to stand and watch the guy as he made the necessary adjustments according to what errors were displayed on a screen. All very interesting and informative.”

“If you are considering studying with The Open University, opening these reviews may feel quite daunting and, quite frankly, may put you off doing it all together. However, I would encourage you to keep open-minded that everyone has a different experience and just because one person had a bad one, it doesn't mean you will. I studied with The Open University for 5 years and received a first class honours degree in Psychology in July 2023. I had to leave school at 15 due to illness and missed all of the crucial exams that would have enabled me to go down the traditional university route. If it had not been for The Open University, and the opportunity to study again without the strict entry criteria then I would not be where I am now. It is definitely hard work and you have to put the hours in (I was working full time and studying in the evenings and the weekends). However, if you are motivated, you can absolutely do it and it will be so worth it. If you require a lot of teaching from a tutor, and aren't able to do independent learning or research you may find it difficult but I actually enjoyed being able to learn at my own pace and in my own time. The learning materials and online study pages were easy to use and assignments were clear. My tutors were helpful although I did not need to reach out often. If you are thinking about it and believe you can do it, dont let the negative reviews put you off - it could absolutely be the right thing for you!”

“ARU Cambridge is a fantastic and modern university where I thoroughly enjoyed my time. I completed my master’s degree at the business school, which has excellent lecturers and teaching standards. Cambridge offers world-class facilities for students, and the environment is truly inspiring for learning.”

“Kettering Buccleuch Academy is a great school. The lessons are really interesting. The school offers so many amazing opportunities. There are lots of fun clubs after school such as netball, basketball etc. The house system is brilliant, especially all the competitions. The teachers are all really nice and supportive.”
