22. WHAT DO OUR STUDENTS SAY?
“My subject teachers are all very interesting and enthusiastic which keeps me wanting to learn. I feel this motivates me to do well”
My time in Sixth Form has been more than studying for A Levels. It’s prepared me for the next steps, helped me grow in confidence of my own abilities and pushed me to achieve my best. I would wholeheartedly recommend EWS Sixth Form to anyone who wants to further their education, whatever their plans for the future.
The progress checks and reassurance of my subject teachers as well as my mentor really helped me gain confidence in my abilities and to think more seriously about the future
EWS is a small Sixth Form, all the college team know me personally and are happy to help me. There is always someone available to listen, help and support
