    I never had an easy time at school, but since being here at the College I’ve never felt more supported or valued. It really is an amazing place.

    I studied Level 2 Maths and English and successfully passed both. It was a great course, and it was great working in a smaller group. I’ve made friends for life and I’m considering progressing to another part-time course with the College.
