The teachers here all have our best interests at heart and really want us to succeed. My psychology teacher has been so supportive throughout the course and really helped me if I was ever struggling with the subject. I loved doing group work activities and all the in-depth feedback we'd receive after completing mock exams. It has really inspired me to carry on studying psychology at university.

The careers team have been so supportive whilst I've been at college. I've had one-to-one appointments, attended industry specialist talks and spoken to employers at careers fairs.
There's always so much going on! The work experience coordinator also helped me organise and secure a placement at an accounting and finance firm, which is what I hope to go on and do after college.

One of the things I like most about English Literature is that there is no set answer, you are able to express several ideas and be creative with how you interpret texts.
Our teacher has always set high expectations and I am always encouraged to delve deeper, the lessons are engaging and I enjoy how the subject challenges me. If you love reading this course is for you!

I choose to study Maths because I like how precise it is and how useful it can be in my other subjects. It's a challenging course and you have to be prepared to work hard outside of your lessons.
I am hoping to study Maths at university and this course and the support I've had from my teacher has been a great help in securing a summer school place at Oxford University to further my understanding of the subject.
