“For us as a College, we have had another year of outstanding results, of which, our incredible staff are extremely proud.

“Alongside their studies, students have had some great experiences: including 25 learners going to Holland for two weeks as part of the TURING programme and our Women’s Academy celebrating winning their EFL CEFA league with a trophy presentation at Wembley Stadium.

“I’d like to wish all graduates the best of luck in the future and we look forward to welcoming our new students and those returning to us in September.”

“I am so grateful for the experiences I’ve had, in particular the Utrecht trip and going to Wembley as the Women’s captain to receive our trophy.

“I’m thrilled with my grades and I’m now excited to start university.”

Alongside all academic programmes, students have the opportunity to represent Doncaster Rovers FC and Doncaster Rovers Belles FC in approved EFL Leagues, gain experiences with the Dons RLFC, and enjoy a host of other sports.
