I am delighted with these results it means I have got into my dream university, and I get to study in Paris! It’s such an amazing opportunity that I don’t think I would have achieved if I didn’t study at Weston College Sixth Form; my teachers have been absolutely wonderful, they have been there for me 24/7 – so with the combination of this support and lots of revision I have achieved these great results.
