The programme will broaden your horizons and your

Programme is about ensuring those with the potential to

OUR STUDENTS SAY? WHAT DO

MICHAELHEMINGWAYNext Steps: The University of Leeds to

study Geoscience

Studied: A Levels in Chemistry, Classical

Civilisation and Geography

School: Castle Hall Academy

“College worked hard to help me to

develop my skill set outside of my

studies, and I felt like this was a huge

benefit when it came round to applying

for university via UCAS. College expect

you to step up and take charge of your

learning and your future, and this really

helps you to focus and achieve!”
