What I’m learning in the classroom is teaching me how to effectively work with younger children which I’m able to apply when doing work experience.

I decided to progress to the degree course at Selby College as I knew how supportive the tutors are from my Level 3 course.

I find College a lot better than school – there’s much more free time and it’s more relaxed. I really enjoyed netball at school so it’s great I can continue here.
