Living on a canal boat also made finding the right college more complicated, as the family had to keep moving in line with the terms of their boating licence.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have to keep moving, so transport was difficult and that made our options quite limited,\u201d Rex explained. \u201cMy parents also wanted to make sure I had practical opportunities because I had never been a fan of sit-down learning.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Then, during a visit to Nantwich, Rex and his family discovered Reaseheath. It was a decision that would change the direction of Rex\u2019s life.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe went in to ask some questions and ended up having an interview that resulted in an unconditional offer for Foundation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Rex joined the Foundation programme &#8211; now known as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reaseheath.ac.uk\/further-education\/courses\/entry-level-and-foundation\/\">Foundation Pathways<\/a> &#8211; without formal qualifications, attracted by the chance to gain practical experience while working towards core GCSEs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was particularly drawn in by <a href=\"https:\/\/reaseheathzoo.co.uk\/\">Reaseheath Mini Zoo<\/a> as well as the fact I could do core GCSEs alongside my course. It allowed me to work towards multiple qualifications at once and gain hands-on experience.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Starting college was nevertheless a huge step. Having never experienced a school environment, Rex was initially worried about making friends and finding his feet.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was quite difficult at first. I was worried about making friends and everything was quite new to me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That soon changed.<\/p>\n<p>Rex made close friends, met his partner and, with the support of\u00a0 tutors Sean McIntyre and Megan McArdle, began to build confidence.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHaving Sean and Megan as tutors helped immensely as I felt safe enough to reach out to them if I had any problems.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Rex describes the pair as \u201cabsolutely perfect Foundation tutors\u201d, praising their ability to create a classroom where students could have fun while still feeling supported and respected.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey earn respect by giving it, treating all students fairly and understanding individual needs. This helps anyone to feel settled and calm, especially people who are new to college.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That first year proved to Rex that Foundation was exactly where he needed to be.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI still would have gone into the Foundation course given the chance, even if I could go back in time with all the qualifications in the world.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Rex had previously struggled with the feeling of being \u201cbehind\u201d educationally. Having been offered a college place around the beginning of lockdown, health difficulties and changes in his living circumstances meant the timing wasn&#8217;t right. By the time Rex arrived at Reaseheath, things had changed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was starting to enter a good period of my life when I joined Reaseheath, something I\u2019d fought for after years of struggling with my health and the fear of being \u2018behind\u2019 educationally.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The independent learning skills developed through home education also proved invaluable.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIndependently revising and finishing assignments came naturally. If I ever had any struggles there was support waiting for me, but luckily I\u2019m efficient at dealing with problems on my own.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That combination of independence and support helped Rex achieve some impressive GCSE results in 2024. An English Grade 8 initially felt like a disappointment after Rex had achieved a 9 in the mock.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI felt as though I had failed, but the absolute astonishment from my friends and tutors made me realise how impressive an eight actually was.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The GCSEs were just the beginning. Over three years at Reaseheath, Rex developed a passion for entomology \u2013 the scientific study of insects \u2013 while building knowledge and practical skills across<a href=\"https:\/\/www.reaseheath.ac.uk\/further-education\/courses\/animal-management\/\"> animal management<\/a>, biology, ecology and conservation. And the change wasn&#8217;t only academic, it was personal.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think I\u2019ve changed fundamentally as a person since coming to Reaseheath. I used to be rather shy and pessimistic, but now I am confident and determined.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Rex\u2019s friends have even described him as \u201cthe colour yellow\u201d \u2013 a reflection of the confidence and positivity he has developed.<\/p>\n<p>That transformation has been backed up by some impressive achievements.<\/p>\n<p>Rex was named Student of the Term and Best Overall Student at the 2026 Presentation of Awards celebrations, awards that came as a surprise but provided extra motivation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI wasn\u2019t expecting to win either award, but I remember feeling over the moon both times. It motivated me to strive for more and consistently put 110% into everything I do.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Rex is also particularly proud of achieving 100% attendance across all three years.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI enjoyed being in college so much that sometimes I needed to be told to stay home when I was terribly ill. I didn\u2019t want to miss a single lesson.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The biggest surprise came with the results from Rex\u2019s Level 3 Advanced Technical Extended Diploma in<a href=\"https:\/\/www.reaseheath.ac.uk\/further-education\/courses\/animal-management\/\"> Animal Management<\/a> course.<\/p>\n<p>After being predicted a distinction-merit, Rex achieved a double distinction star, a result once considered completely out of reach.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI had thought such a grade was entirely unobtainable. It came as a huge surprise and I was jumping around in my living room for hours. I honestly thought I was dreaming or misreading it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Rex credits the people around him for helping make those achievements possible.<\/p>\n<p>As well as Sean and Megan, tutor Joe Thraves provided invaluable support during Level 3, continuing to advocate for Rex even after no longer teaching him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJoe will always do everything he is capable of to make sure a student is properly supported and listened to. He has a relaxed and fun classroom environment and has considerable knowledge and love for his subject.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Rex also wanted to acknowledge the many other tutors and staff who made a difference, including Rob Whitehouse, Sarah Fletcher, Katie Jones, Sophia Michaels, Tom Briggs, Stuart Lloyd, Mike Dobson, Justine Cassidy and the library team.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey had a huge impact on my experience and are wonderful people that you can tell truly enjoy their career and want the best for students at Reaseheath.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Now, Rex is preparing to take the next step, having secured a place at Bangor University, where he will study Zoology with Conservation.<\/p>\n<p>The ultimate ambition is to become an entomologist, with potential careers in education, conservation or laboratory work.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI picked this course because I wanted to become an entomologist in the future. I\u2019d love to work in education, conservation or lab work; as long as I can be surrounded by roaches, I\u2019m happy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Rex\u2019s passion for insects also comes from a wider interest in conservation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll conservation relies on the diversity of insects and conservation is more important to understand than ever right now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The practical experience gained at Reaseheath will provide a strong foundation for university study, particularly the fieldwork that will form a major part of the course.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFew colleges offer mini zoos as large and diverse as Reaseheath. Those skills, among the many outdoor lessons we did, provided me with experience for field work in university, which is going to be a huge part of my course.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For Rex, Reaseheath has provided much more than a route to qualifications. It has been where confidence grew, friendships were made and a lifelong passion was discovered. And perhaps most importantly, it has shown Rex what is possible.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI gained confidence, self-belief and so many other skills as well as tons of knowledge.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Discover how Rex went from no formal qualifications to a double Distinction star at Reaseheath and a place studying Zoology at Bangor University.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":82,"featured_media":148788,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[388,863,865,468],"tags":[58,998,965],"class_list":["post-148787","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-alumni-profiles","category-bemore","category-progression-success","category-news","tag-animal-management","tag-foundation-pathway","tag-gcse-english","alumni-profiles","bemore","progression-success","news","","wp-json","wp","v2","posts","148787"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>From no qualifications to university - Rex\u2019s Reaseheath success story - Reaseheath College<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Rex Colquhoun-Lynn went from no formal qualifications to a double distinction star at Reaseheath and a place at Bangor University.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reaseheath.ac.uk\/news-rex-reaseheath-foundation-university\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_GB\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"From no qualifications to university - Rex\u2019s Reaseheath success story - Reaseheath College\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Rex Colquhoun-Lynn went from no formal qualifications to a double distinction star at Reaseheath and a place at Bangor University.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.reaseheath.ac.uk\/news-rex-reaseheath-foundation-university\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Reaseheath College\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2026-09-01T10:57:32+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2026-09-01T10:59:07+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/www.reaseheath.ac.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/PoA26_Rex-Colquhoun_Lynn_01-4-1030x687.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1030\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"687\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"gemma sproston\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"gemma sproston\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Estimated reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"6 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.reaseheath.ac.uk\\\/news-rex-reaseheath-foundation-university\\\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.reaseheath.ac.uk\\\/news-rex-reaseheath-foundation-university\\\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"gemma sproston\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.reaseheath.ac.uk\\\/#\\\/schema\\\/person\\\/c2d91b28abfc931e4a482c20d44e7bbc\"},\"headline\":\"From no qualifications to university &#8211;
