University

I enjoy studying Physics in more detail, but I've really found meeting new people, living along and living in a new city very enjoyable.

University

The one on one support from staff at 6th form was extremely helpful as I was able to spend time with different teachers who would offer help and suggestions to my personal statement and other aspects of the uni application process. It also felt like we were treated as adults by teachers which I think prepared me for future roles by allowing me to exercise independence, responsibility and communication.

University

Sixth Form supported me throughout my A-levels to get the grades I needed for university, but it also taught me that I should do the thing I enjoy the most, no matter what other people might think. I would like to become a composer for TV, Film and/or Video Games.
