Student Profiles

 

Neil Rodley- English Language

“English Language at A-level is a really diverse and interesting subject to study. The course covers a wide range of topics from how children acquire language, to how language reflects gender, age and power. The teachers keep the content interesting throughout, and always seek new ways to make aspects of the course fresh and exciting. The coursework element involves creative writing at AS, and a linguistic investigation at A2, which is very rewarding if you put the work in. This is well structured and the teachers provide all the support they can to make sure you know what is required from your work. I would recommend the course to anyone who enjoys debating and likes subjects where you can form your own opinions on what you study.”

“For me, Northallerton College was a good choice for Sixth Form, as it offered all of the courses I wanted to study, and because I had previously taken my GCSE’s here, I already knew the teachers. In addition, the college offered many extra-curricular activities, such as sports clubs, dramatic productions and an active student council, as well as new things which are set up all the time. The college offers great IT and sports facilities, such as a brand new Fitness Suite, and there is always the opportunity to try something different.

 

Northallerton College fully supports the best practice principles of Equal Opportunity, Diversity and Accessibility, and we are committed to implementing these principles through all our activities.
