Taking student success higher

Taking Holly & Jessica higher

Best friends off to University

It was a double celebration for best friends Holly Kidger and Jessica Darby, who both achieved an A* in Childcare and Education and secured top spots at two York Universities. The pair have been inseparable since their first day at Middlesbrough College, and bonded over their shared love of education. Holly is heading to University of York on an Education Studies degree and Jessica is off to York St John to study Primary Education.

“We didn’t tell each other where we applied, so it was a total shock and such a coincidence when it turned out we’d chosen the same city to study in,” said Jessica. The two already have plans to house share once they’ve completed their first year in halls.

“I would recommend studying my course, the teaching is very good and in depth. We get a lot of support from tutors.

“Following my studies, I am planning on going to University in America to help progress more with golf.

“I really enjoy the psychology element of my course as it helps me personally in my own sport. “I chose to study at Middlesbrough College after I heard about the course from a friend and was interested in joining the Golf Academy as well.

“The main building is vast and has a lot of useful facilities for us to use. The campus is a friendly and safe place to study.
