Current Student Angel Mutesva

Being a boarder has had a really positive impact on my academics. I used to have a long train commute, but now I’m on campus I’m rarely late and can engage fully in lessons. Having more study time without rushing for a train is crucial in Year 13 when every second counts. The supportive environment – from staff and fellow boarders – means there’s always someone to help if I’m struggling with work, and it’s much easier to meet teachers after College for extra support. Boarding also gives me a preview of life away from home at university as I learn to be more independent.
