“My favourite thing about Long Road is the campus itself. I actually chose Long Road because of how big the campus is and all the green spaces. This year at college i spent time revising outside as I found the environment really calming and helped me focus – I also love the woodland walk! My teachers have been amazing; they pushed me to be independent and gave me support when needed. I liked being treated like an adult and calling teachers by their first names!” 

Amber Brewster: A,A,A,

Huge congratulations to Amber who this morning achieved three A’s in Film, Psychology and Drama! Amber is now packing her bags ready to an exciting gap year travelling across Australia before making the decision to continue her education either at Drama School or with a Psychology degree!

My favourite thing about Long Road sounds a bit cringe, but I really just loved my subjects and all my teachers! They were all so supportive, and I had so much fun learning from them.  I liked that Long Road felt completely different to being at school, I had much more independence and the opportunity to take responsibility for my own work – although I never felt too pressured. I made so many friends here that I’ll be keeping in touch with even when I’m travelling!”
