“Collingwood gave me the confidence and support I needed to take the next step. The teachers genuinely cared about my progress, and the careers advice helped me shape my university application. I’m now studying Law at Southampton and still use the skills I developed in Sixth Form every day. It was the perfect place to prepare for what came next.”
