And from what they say about us...
Sellu`s story
"My decision to attend Summit Saturday school has brought many rewards for me, especially in gaining more experience about the opportunities that are out there in the world. As a means to motivate us, we had a series of special visitors that came to the school to give us information on how we can progress in the world today. This approach gave me great value of how education is important in today world.
At the start of the Saturday school I was doing my A levels and I needed a least a C or better in GCSE English to enable me go to university. I had previously made two attempts at GCSE English and each time was awarded a D at foundation level. At Summit Saturday school I was entered for the higher paper and challenged and motivated that I can make the grade. I set myself to work for a C grade but due to the tireless efforts of my teachers and the head of the school, Mrs Stewart, I began to grow in confidence that after all it would not be impossible for me to do better. It was however still a shock to me when I was told that I had actually got a B in the exams.
I would like to pay special tribute to my teachers, Mrs Stewart and above all my classmates for their well appreciated contribution in helping to shape my future. I believe that the experience I have gained by attending Summit Saturday School will be of benefit in how I apply myself to academic work in the future.
Many thanks Mrs Stewart and Staff. I wish you continuing success in your work.
