George, who attends the College’s Basketball Academy and is also a Student Ambassador, shared: “I am feeling extremely pleased and proud with my offers. It's great to be able to have the range of choice upon my final decision.
“I am feeling both excited and nervous for the uni journey. I am looking forward to studying a subject which I found out I really enjoyed whilst at Callywith. I think the degree will have a lot of potential paths to follow and I am looking forward to the journey it takes me on. I am also looking forward to the freedom and the stepping stone into the scary world of living, as well as the range of societies on offer and the opportunities and trips that are in abundance.
“Callywith has helped to introduce the way of life as a post-school student and has so many things to make your time the best it can be, as well as giving all the support and more that you could need after your journey at Callywith has finished. The breadth and quality of teaching of my courses have all equally pushed me to find my interests and passions and I have picked my university course with all of my A Levels in mind. As business was a new subject for me at A Level, Callywith has done a lot to make me want to pursue it further.
“I have so many ideas as to where I want to take my knowledge and qualifications, be it owning my own business, working for an influential company making a difference, or doing something that only exists so far in the future. I want to aim to be as ambitious as I have been inspired.
“Callywith has been a great hub for success that never ceases to be the best for its students. The knowledge, passion and care you get from the staff is unmatched - they are truly always there for you, especially with big moments like these."
