It was standing room only for students and their parents who attended the Callywith College launch event in Bodmin town centre last weekend.

College staff gave a talk on the Callywith College course offer and site progress to around 100 people in a crowded Shire Hall meeting room, while almost 300 copies of the College’s new prospectus were taken away. More than 100 application forms were requested on the day, and 52 applications completed there and then.

Callywith College will open in September 2017 in Bodmin to cater largely for post-16 students in North and East Cornwall.

In its first year the College is offering 25 A Level subjects, five Level 2 Progression courses and 11 Level 3 Extended Diplomas.

Callywith College is opening its application suite at the Callywith site every first and third Saturday of each month until May 2017, with the first open event on Saturday, October 1.

Interested students and parents / carers can call into the suite between 10am-2pm, talk to staff and get a view of the site from an aerial viewing platform.
