Our coursework was interesting, says Alan who studied A-levels with us. The teachers showed a lot of energy in the classroom, which was very motivating and really helped to keep my attention. The new Sixth Form College had great facilities for the students to use, so you've got good resources and a good atmosphere which really contributes to your learning.
