Luther, who joined Cardiff Sixth Form College on the one-year GCSE course, is Canadian and hopes to study medicine in the future.
Kim (16) from Thailand, who achieved six A*(9 and 8s) s on the college’s one year GCSE course in Maths, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Further Mathematics and Economics and a B (6) in English, is following in the footsteps of his elder sister, Ling, who achieved four A*s at A level last week and is going onto study Engineering and Architectural design at UCL. Kim is hoping to study engineering at university and is a keen swimmer and pianist.
“Our students have performed really well this year and we are extremely pleased with the results,” said Cardiff Sixth Form College Principal, Tom Arrand. “This year we are running both one year and two year GCSE courses here in Cardiff, preparing our students right from 14 years of age on a four-year pathway to top universities. Our students have benefitted from specialist teaching staff who have stretched the students beyond the curriculum, developing career and study skills that will take them into university and beyond.”
