Our A Level and Applied Science students recently took part in the Royal Literary Fund’s ‘Bridge’ programme, designed to help students develop confidence in their academic writing ✍️

13 published writers with experience in higher education visited the college to host workshops which gave students practical techniques for planning, reviewing and improving their writing and academic techniques.

A big thank you to the Royal Literary Fund and all the writers involved for supporting our students and helping them prepare for the future!

Katie's fashion dreams come true! 👠👗

Level 3 Fashion and Textiles student Katie Leigh-Robinson has been accepted into the prestigious Parsons School of Design in New York, one of the world's most prestigious art and design schools!

After applying to study a BFA in Fashion Design and sending over her portfolio, Katie was overjoyed to receive her acceptance letter recently!

Katie has always wanted to study Fashion, even as a young child and will now follow in the footsteps of designers such as Mark Jacobs and Tom Ford, who are both former alumni of Parsons.

After completing her degree, Katie hopes to go into Fashion writing and eventually hopes to become an editor for a well known design magazine.

Congratulations Katie! 👏👏

Fashion and Textiles students recently hosted a charity fashion show and sample sale for the second year running, this time raising a stunning £820 for Willow Wood Hospice. An astonishing amount! 👏👠

Students from the Level 3 course organised the event for staff and students, which used clothes kindly donated by fashion brand Pretty Little Thing as part of the show and also the clothing sale.

The fashion show allowed students to gain vital experience of planning and executing this type of event, whilst also raising vital funds for a charity close to many local people's hearts.

What a fantastic job they have done!

A-level Chemistry students have received a welcome boost after they took top prizes in the Royal Society of Chemistry Olympiad recently! 🧪👏

Students achieved four silver and eight bronze award certificates after taking part in the competition, which sees students complete a two hour written paper to test their knowledge and skills in the subject.

Congratulations to all of the students involved, what a great achievement!

From student to renowned Biomedical Sciences researcher 🧬🧪

Dr Pantelis Nicola, a former A-level Science student with the college, is now helping to lead groundbreaking research into cancer treatments and the mutations that can cause it in the first place.

His research paper titled 'Polyclonal selection of immune checkpoint mutations in thyroid autoimmunity' has been published in the world-renowned science journal, Nature.

Before his work as a researcher, Dr Nicola studied sciences with the college from 2008 and then went on to complete a BSc in Medical Sciences with Genetics and an MBBS in Medicine at UCL to qualify as a doctor, a Masters of Philosophy in Biological Science at Cambridge University and is currently completing a PHD there too.

Recently A-level Psychology students visited Kraków in Poland, to better understand the psychological context of the Second World War and the Holocaust.

During the visit, students toured the Jewish Ghetto, the Jewish Museum and Auschwitz-Birkenau and heard powerful testimony from a Holocaust survivor, which was highly moving.

The trip supported their study of social influence, helping them to see the real world impact of authority and majority pressure. Something that will likely stay with them far beyond the classroom.

A massive well done to Animation student Aaliyah for winning first prize in a global art competition for the critically acclaimed game Baldur’s Gate 3! 🎨✨

Launched in December by game voice actors Emma Gregory and Andrew Wincott, the competition challenged artists to respond to the theme 'Frostfallen Foes: The Villains of Winter’s Night.'

Aaliyah used the competition as a live brief to develop her concept art skills. Her winning piece reimagined a festive sleigh scene, featuring characters from the game.

For her efforts she received a personal congratulatory video from Emma Gregory. Very well done, Aaliyah!
