Altrincham College is an amazing school that has wonderful teachers that helps students academically and socially. Teachers, additional staff and students are all really nice and caring with each other, which gives the sense of having a big family with a close bond. Altrincham College has given me lots of great opportunities which I wouldn’t get to do by myself, such as many residential and extra curriculum activities. For example as soon as I started in year 7 I was given the chance to go on many different trips, such as when the entire year group went to Scarborough creating loads of memories and new friends.

The greatest opportunity afforded to me was back in 2019 when I was in year 9 and I got to go to Folgarida, Italy for a ski trip. This trip allowed me to form closer bonds with friends in my own year and other years too. Other than exciting educational trips organised by Altrincham College, staff have allowed me to stretch myself academically. For example, we went to a theatre in Manchester where there was an event for English literature. This event was to improve our knowledge on the poems we were learning for out GCSE by hearing from the actual poet themselves. This allowed me to get better grades and learn also about the poets which was very interesting.

Finally, at the end of the year you can go on reward trips to celebrate your hard work through the year to various places such as Blackpool Pleasure Beach, Sandcastle Waterpark, ice skating and the cinema.

Altrincham College has given me many amazing memories, friends and lessons!

Altrincham College is a great school. All the staff are supportive and encouraging. The school is not too big, which I really like, as it means you can get to know everyone and feel part of a big family. The school has given me lots of opportunities to take part in extra-curricular activities, including really exciting school trips - a team building trip to the Isle of Man, a football tour to Holland, obtaining a Duke of Edinburgh award and playing for the school football team. In addition, there have been special trips to support my studies, such as going to see a play at The Globe Theatre, London. The school also has close links with local business & industry, so I have been able to learn about how businesses work and get an idea of different career options.
