I wanted to study my A levels in a place which specialised in the final years of your school education I wanted to go to a place where people were going because they wanted to get something out of it, rather than just continuing education for the sake of it I felt that it was the perfect environment to ground myself and become more comfortable within myself, academically and personally.

I enjoyed the relationships I built with friends and teachers alike. The environment was always very welcoming and the fact that we called teachers by their first names felt like a barrier had been taken down in order to enable clearer communication.
