Spotlight

I love A Levels – they allow me to discuss a broad range of topics and the fact that I was able to select three subjects that I really enjoy means I have fun whilst learning, and don’t feel restricted. They complement one another nicely, helping me progress onto university where I will study Journalism. I definitely feel like they give me a lot of skills I wouldn’t have had if I hadn’t studied A Levels at this college.
