"During this year I was deeply encouraged by my teachers and learning supporters, who helped me to learn more about my passions and choose wisely my next steps." JULIANA SIQUEIRA DE SOUZA, FULL TIME GCSEs
I’ve really enjoyed the practicals and experiments and the case studies and documentaries. College life is sort of what I’d expected but is less stressful than I thought it would be. I’ve learned to be independent with my studies. The opportunities I’ve loved are the sports clubs at lunch which I’ve been constantly going to. I’ve met a lot of amazing teachers and friends who are very passionate about their learning.
Nothing is impossible. Even the word itself says ‘I’m possible’.
“Studying at Kingston College was a great opportunity for me as I was able to explore and expand all my areas of knowledge. During this year I was deeply encouraged by my teachers and learning supporters, who helped me to learn more about my passions and choose wisely my next steps. I am also grateful for each one of the friends that I made during this year, nothing compares to the memories that I shared with them.”
Juliana achieved an outstanding set of GCSE results, including an 8 in Maths, a testament to her hard work and determination to succeed. Juliana is continuing her studies with us, currently enrolling on our A Level+ Engineering Pathway.
