Student profile
Name: Joel
Previous School: Warwick
Subjects: Biology, Chemistry, French,
Maths
How have you found the teaching and
support staff?
My teachers have all given me the
support I’ve needed to push me to do
my best and have genuinely wanted me
to succeed. The Careers Department
and Aspire Programme were also
helpful when I was preparing my UCAS
application.
What do you like most about being a
student at Reigate College?
By providing all the resources as well as
support when needed, the College
allows you to take control of what you do
when you’re not in lessons. This has
definitely made me much more
independent and helped me develop
essential skills such as time
management and organisation.
What are your plans for the future?
I’ve got a place to study Biochemistry at
St Hilda’s College, Oxford. This
opportunity was made possible thanks
to the help of the College.

Student profile
Name: Eve
Previous School: Warwick
Subjects: Law, Business, Sociology
What do you like most about being a
student at Reigate College?
I like the independence; it’s not
something I experienced at school.
Being able to manage my own
workload and studies has really helped
me mature and prepared me for the
workplace.
How have you found the teaching and
support staff?
There is a vast range of support widely
available. I found the Careers
Department especially helpful
regarding applying for apprenticeships.
Learning Support made my transition
between school and College much
smoother by identifying ways to
support my learning needs.
What are your plans for the future?
I’ve been offered a Degree
Apprenticeship in Business
Management with the BBC. The three-
year course will give me a degree in
Professional Management, paid for by
my employer.
