   Kathryn came to Wyke from our nearest partner school, Kelvin Hall, and is currently studying Dance, English Language and Literature, and Photography A levels as well as GCSE Maths. She remembers coming to Wyke Start and says ‘It was a great introduction to Wyke, I loved it, particularly as I could focus on dance.’ Since studying here, Kathryn has really enjoyed the wide range of subjects she has studied and in particular her participation in Dance Workshops.

   Kathryn has successfully auditioned and gained a place on the gifted and talented scheme run by Northern School of Contemporary Dance (NSCD) and Northern Ballet Theatre (NBT). This opportunity enables students to receive professional training in both Contemporary and Ballet. She aims to complete her A levels at Wyke before progressing onto a degree in Dance at the Northern School of Contemporary Dance.

   Amy joined us from Beverley Longcroft School and spent last year improving her GCSE grades.

   She has immersed herself in college life, being part of the Student Crew, Netball team and a reserve for the Women’s football team! She says ‘You get the whole package at Wyke, new friends, new facilities and a great choice of courses.’
