University
Former student, Cara Collins, is currently studying at the University of Bath where she is on the England Pathway programme. Cara is loving her time at university where she is studying sports performance and is now training in top class facilities. In her first year, Cara won bronze in the British University Championships Mixed Doubles. She also won two bronze medals in the U19 National Championships in Women’s Doubles and Mixed Doubles. Cara continues to compete both nationally and internationally and we look forward to seeing her realise her dream of representing England at the Commonwealth Games in 2026!
Enrichment Activities
Show all activitiesStudents in Liskeard Sixth Form are encouraged to play a positive role in the local community. This can take all forms: from being the Mace bearer for the local Mayor to stewarding at local events that are open to the public.
Being able to visit universities on open days really helps students to decide on their choices. To help with this, we run trips to visit universities and open days. These include Bristol and Cardiff open days; visits to Imperial, Westminster and UCL.
Many of our students play sport at club level. Some progress on to play at county, regional and national levels. We encourage our students to strive and be the best they can be. To support this, we adapt timetables so that training can take place as well as enabling them to go off to compete in their various sports.
