On collecting her results, Grace Crane, who achieved amazing grades of A, B, B in English Literature, Film Studies and Media Studies, said, “I am beyond happy with my results, I was working towards a B in English Literature, but my lecturer gave me the belief I needed to achieve an A. I chose Boston College because of the wide choice of A Level subjects available, and learning about the huge variety of careers they could lead to really inspired me to pursue a career in filmmaking. I hadn’t even considered the Film and Media Industry before coming to Boston College, and I am excited to have secured a place at MetFilm School in London to study Practical Film Making.”
Another success story is Elai Solomon who achieved fantastic results of D*, D*, D* in Graphic and Digital Design BTEC Level 3. Collecting their results on the day, Elai said, “I chose to come to Boston College as I had heard that the Creative courses here were extremely supportive and encouraged students to explore their individuality both personally and creatively, and that was important to me. I have loved my time at Boston College. The course was challenging but in a way that made me continuously improve to achieve my best, and gave me the freedom to express myself. I am moving on to the University of Hertfordshire to study 2D Animation with the aim to work in the TV and Movie industry on animated series and films.”
Gerri Brazil, Senior Learning Lead for A Levels and Access to HE said, “We are delighted as a college to report another successful year for our amazing A Level students and dedicated staff.
