“The teachers have been so supportive in helping me achieve these results.”
Lucy (pictured, below) took part in SCC Futures – a selection of pathways to allow students access to a tailored programme.
She added: “SCC Futures is another opportunity at the college which really helped with my UCAS application.
“I was able to talk about the short course I completed at Liverpool Hope University as well as my extra Critical Thinking subject.
“A visit to Keele University for the Law Day was such a valuable experience too.
“All of these things have helped me develop and have supported my university application.”
Barnaby O’Brien will study Chemistry and Bio-Chemistry in September at Keele University, following his BBC results in Chemistry, Biology and Theatre Studies.
