At Worksop College, we help pupils prepare for their GCSEs by practising all aspects of the examination process.
Sarah Dalby, Head of Key Stage 4, shares her advice.
For Sophia, Harry and Bella, excellent GCSE results mark the beginning of an exciting new stage of academic challenge, opportunity and independence at Worksop College Sixth Form.
After achieving some of the College's strongest GCSE results, all three chose to continue their education at Worksop College for Sixth Form. We asked them what made them stay, what they value about the academic experience here and how they feel the Sixth Form is preparing them for university and beyond.
How do we help talented girls become better footballers?
It’s a simple question, but one that sits at the heart of the development of the Worksop College Girls’ Football Academy (WCGFA).
For me, it’s about creating the right environment around talented young players. Good coaching and plenty of time on the pitch are important, but so are strength and conditioning, tactical understanding, individual development, education and the right pastoral support.
At WCGFA, we’re bringing all of those elements together.

We are thrilled to welcome Miss Sophie McLean to the Ranby House family as our new Head of Early Years.
Sophie joins us with a wealth of experience and a real passion for creating the kind of environment in which young children can flourish. As she begins her time at Ranby, we asked her to introduce herself and share what matters most to her about those all-important early years of a child's education.

What can a 1,200-year-old tree teach us about how children learn?
Quite a lot, as it turns out.
Worksop College sits in more than 330 acres of grounds and woodland, just a few miles from the ancient woodland of Sherwood Forest. So, when the Major Oak made headlines this summer following its death after around 1,200 years, it seemed like an appropriate starting point for thinking about teaching and learning.
Worksop College is celebrating an outstanding set of GCSE results, with the school recording its strongest performance in years across a number of key measures, including the number of grade 9s awarded, the proportion of grades at 9-5 and the value added achieved by pupils.
With GCSE Results Day just around the corner, Sarah Dalby, Head of Key Stage 4 at Worksop College, shares her advice on how to approach the day with confidence, prepare for different outcomes and make informed decisions about what comes next.

Worksop College’s Class of 2026 are celebrating a year of achievement, with more than half of all grades awarded at A*–B and the number of A* grades outstripping regional trends. Among pupils studying Level 3 vocational subjects, nearly 40% of grades were awarded at Distinction* or Distinction. Pupils are now heading towards an exciting range of destinations across the UK and overseas. From future doctors and lawyers to elite athletes, artists and engineers, this year’s leavers have pursued very different ambitions – securing places at leading universities, taking up degree apprenticeships, entering the world of work and continuing their sporting and creative careers.
