The Sixth Form College has fantastic science facilities, said Hazel, who did her A-levels at the College and who intends to go on to university to study medicine. The course was really good, the teachers were always ready with help and so were the office staff. I would recommend the College without hesitation and in fact, my sister is coming here next year to study!
