A Cut Above The Rest - Will Shares His Sixth Form Experience
Will is a student in his first year of Sixth Form studying A Levels in Chemistry, Physics and Maths. Coming from Worle Secondary school, Will started first at another College in September. However, this didn’t suit him, and he changed to study at the Sixth Form at Weston College.
According to Will, his previous College ran their courses very differently, especially in the English and Maths departments with the two subjects being combined rather than taught one after the other. After the previous College changed their offer at the last minute, stressing out Will and his family, Will switched to Weston College Sixth Form. According to Will’s family, this transition was “incredibly smooth” and professional.
Will says that the learning and teaching standards at Weston College are what make it successful, this being backed up by the 99% pass rate achieved by Sixth Form students.
Will is enjoying his A levels, saying that the taught materials are well linked to each other creating a cohesive study experience. A high point of Sixth Form for Will is the support system as it is easy to get feedback from teachers as soon as it is needed.
Will commented “I’m really enjoying my time at Sixth Form. While it is challenging, the lecturers tie everything together really well. Weston College has high teaching and learning standards making it super successful!”
Weston College Sixth Form increases it's career-boosting benefits through the creation of the Sixth Form Career Excellence Hub. These innovative subject specific hubs allow for students at Weston College to have access to exclusive opportunities. Endorsed by employers from within the industry, this enables for better integration with the sector to make sure class content is relative and opens doors for learners, so they leave college with more than just a qualification.
After his A Levels, Will would like to go to university to study electronic engineering and then eventually become an engineer. We wish Will all the best of luck for the future!
