Learner Limelights Beth Randell School: St Thomas More Catholic High School A Levels: English Language – A*, French – A*, German – A “When looking for a college, the choice of subjects was very important to me and I felt like Cheshire College – South & West had a great combination of courses. Due to a great passion for languages I chose to study English Language, French and German at A Level, with the intention of continuing on to University. I had a great relationship with the teachers at Cheshire College and found them to be incredibly supportive, especially when I had some personal challenges to overcome. I am delighted with my A Level results and will be attending the University of York to study French and Linguistics.” Sam Charles School: Malbank School and Sixth Form A Levels: Mathematics – A*, Further Mathematics – A*, Physics – A* “I knew which subjects I wanted to continue studying when I left high school, but needed a little help with which route to take as I found that I had many options to choose from. I heard great things from current students of the College including great support, teaching and facilities and decided that this was where I wanted to go. The support from my tutors was brilliant and I found my course in Mathematics, Physics and Further Maths both challenging and enjoyable. A Level results day fell on my 18th birthday and after receiving three A* it was definitely a great and memorable day. I’m now on my way to my first choice, University of Warwick, and one step closer to building my career.” Courses offered by this department A Level - Art & Design - Graphic Communication A Level - Art - Fashion & Textiles A Level - Art - Fine Art A Level - Art - Photography A Level - Biology A Level - Business Studies A Level - Chemistry A Level - Classical Civilisation A Level - Computer Science A Level - Criminology Diploma (A Level option) A Level - Dance (BTEC Certificate) A Level - Drama & Theatre A Level - Economics A Level - English Language A Level - English Literature A Level - French A Level - Further Maths A Level - Geography A Level - Geology A Level - History A Level - Law A Level - Mathematics A Level - Media Studies A Level - Music (Performance) A Level - Music (Production) A Level - Philosophy, Ethics & Religious Studies A Level - Physical Education A Level - Physics A Level - Politics A Level - Psychology A Level - Sociology A Level - Spanish CONTACT INFORMATION General enquiries: 01270 654654 01244 656555 Employer hotline: 01270 654638 01244 656455 Email us at: info@ccsw.ac.uk Quick Links Cookies Coronavirus Guidance Disclaimer Online Store Policies & Reports Press Office Privacy Statement Term Dates Social © 2021 Cheshire College - South & West
