A catch up with some of our successful students from last year

1. WHERE ARETHEY NOW?
Luke – Studying Computer Science at the University of Warwick.
Luke joinedthe Community Schools in September 2016 in order to enable him to study AS
Further Mathematics, a course his school was unable to offer.
He found that the tuition went at a pace that suited his style of learning and was focussed on
the topics he initiallystruggled on. Whenever he had a question, a clear explanation was given
to him on how to approach the problems.
He said ‘the tuition at the Community Schools helpedme to achieve a grade A in the AS Further
Maths and also an A* in Maths A Level which enabled me to take up a place on the Computing
Science Degree course at Warwick University. ‘
Luke has ambitions to complete a PhD in Computer Science and progress into lecturing
Computer Science.
It was a privilege to helpsupport Luke with his studies and we wish him every success in his
future.
