A RECORD number of interested students and their families come through the doors at a recent Kendal College Open Day.

The day saw around a 20 per cent year on year increase in students and more than triple the number of students from 2012. The event was combined with the first of Cumbria’s Big Bang Science & Engineering Fair’s of 2014, which also attracted more than 700 additional students through the doors of the college throughout the course of the day.

Adele Burrow, Student Services Manager at Kendal College: "Our Open Days offer a great opportunity to showcase the College as well as some of our many past student success stories. We were delighted to see so many people coming through the doors showing a real appetite to study here.”
