Sarah Morris Poxton, A-Levels in Government & Politics, Sociology and Archaeology

“I was home educated from age seven to thirteen, but then came to College to take my GCSEs and found it was a great learning environment with a very mature atmosphere. The teaching quality is excellent – definitely the best thing about the College – while the personal tutors are absolutely brilliant and have given me lots of encouragement.”

“The facilities at the College, such as the computer rooms, have been very useful for my work, and Student Services have helped me prepare for applying to university with support such as mock interviews.”

“I’d taken A-Levels in subjects including Law before my current courses, and I’d like to progress to study Law at either Cambridge or Exeter universities.”

"The school atmosphere didn't suit me so the option to study at Bedford College suited me perfectly as it allowed me work to my ability. Also there is a wide range of facilities and support available at College, things which weren’t available to me at school.”

"I study Law, Psychology and Sociology – the human context is something which I find really interesting as I can use it in everyday life. My enthusiasm for College has also been reflected in my results. I went from just about passing my GCSEs to aiming for As & Bs for my A-Levels."
