King Edward VI College Stourbridge

Hey!
Just wondering if anyone else is going to King Edward VI College Stourbridge this September? 👀

Also, if you’ve already studied there, I’d love to hear your thoughts: What are the facilities like (classrooms, study spaces, etc.)? How’s the quality of teaching? Overall vibe of the college?

I’m planning to take Computer Science, Spanish, French, and Film Studies, so if anyone’s doing the same or has done any of those, I’d especially love to hear what it was like!

And lastly… was A-Level as hard as everyone says? 😅

Horrendous place, would avoid it all costs, although the teaching is okay (some teachers are questionable) the facilities are awful, there are 2000 students and like a 100 study spaces, way too overcrowded considering how small the college is and the workload can be overbearing at times. Also the Head Teacher (Holly) had a very bad scandal in the past. For future students thinking about applying, look at other colleges/sixth forms first.
