Peter Wheatley

Peter was part of the College’s Rugby Academy and said it enriched his experience. He described his time at Hartlepool Sixth Form College a challenging, interesting and fun.

He said:

“I decided to study at Hartlepool Sixth Form as it had an excellent reputation for sciences, for teaching and support for students and progression into higher education.

The best thing was the support given to students and the friendly atmosphere. There were excellent facilities for both practical and non-practical aspects of study and well-kept grounds, providing safe environment.

Being part of the first Rugby Academy team was one of the best aspects about my time in college. It helped me integrate with older students when I was in lower sixth and then support younger students when I was in upper sixth. It enriched my experience and gave me lots of enjoyment as well as keeping me very fit and healthy, and let to regional representation for the College.

I cannot recommend it highly enough as a sixth form. I would not be where I am today without the education, opportunities and support I received from the College.”
