    There was no point in studying for 3 A-Levels I was never going to use. I achieved 8 As and 2 Bs in my GCSEs. The College was perfect for me because I wanted to specialise in Music Production, which I couldn't do at school.

    I got a lot of support at NWRC. I enjoy college life more than school because it offers greater freedom and you are treated like an adult.
