Littleover Community School Sixth Form staff helped me successfully apply to study Physics with Philosophy at the University of Manchester. I left Littleover in Spring 2020, and so despite my experience being cut short I thoroughly enjoyed my time, with the sense of community and staff support helping me through the trauma that is A level study. I really enjoy studying at Uni and the skills I gained at Littleover have made the transition easier, specifically negotiating physics cake days in lessons has helped me befriend flatmates with my improved baking skills. A levels are hard, but survivable with the right help.

During my time at LCS Sixth form, the staff gave me the confidence to apply to the number one professional services firm in the world. Throughout the rigorous application process, I was able to utilise the knowledge and advice of my sixth form tutors. I am now working with a range of FTSE100 and many household international clients in the tech and automotive sector.

The staff at LCS sixth form have extensive knowledge in subject areas and are incredibly supportive to help you achieve the grades you need to progress after post-16 studies.
