Hear from our students

Caitlin – GCSE Maths

Second year Early Years student, Caitlin, passed her GCSE English thanks to the support she received at EKC Sheppey College, with her confidence in Maths at new levels.

Whether you’re looking at studying GCSEs alongside a post-16 course, learning as an adult, or starting Year 10 with EKC Sheppey Junior College, Caitlin’s experience is proof that the right environment can make all the difference.

“College has helped me quite a lot with my maths, especially the teachers. The support they gave was great.

“Now that I’ve passed GCSE Maths, I’m coming back here to study Engineering. It seemed liked a logical next step for me after my Carpentry course.”

Christopher
GCSE Maths

“The staff here have helped me a lot. They’ve found alternate ways for me to learn Maths and to help process it, which if it wasn’t for that I don’t think I would have passed.

“Everyone here was really welcoming when I looked around the college and I knew it was the place for me.”

Elsie
GCSE Maths

“I’m over the moon that I’ve passed as I can now continue what I want to do.

“All the people here are great, staff and students, and they can support you in so many different ways.

“College has really helped me a lot and I’ve got really far with my learning compared to school.”
