I preferred to go to a College rather than a sixth form. I like how it’s a bit more like a university where you don’t have to stay in school all the time and you have a bit of independence, plus I like all the courses and the teachers seem really nice.
What was your favourite subject?
Chemistry, the lessons are interesting and I enjoy the practicals.
What has been your most memorable moment?
Just spending time with my friends outside of my lessons
What has been your proudest moment?
Representing College at the Manchester schools climbing competition
How has Xaverian helped you prepare for the future?
Xaverian has given me a lot of support throughout my A Levels, even though the College is about being more independent, the support is there if you need it, especially the counselling and mental health support.
