The atmosphere at SCCH is great, the course choice is broad and the options to study the combinations of A-Levels I looked into were not offered at any other college. The college has really exceeded my expectations; the teachers are amazing and very committed to our success. We get so much more freedom here; the environment is very different from school and we are treated like adults.
