Whatever your decision, you can guarantee that you will be taught by experts in the subject who are willing to go that extra mile to ensure that you achieve your true potential.

Huge congratulations to two of our brilliant Medical Science students! 🌟
Alongside their studies, they give up their time to volunteer with the NHS Mersey and West Lancashire Teaching Hospitals Trust as part of the meet and greet team. They are the friendly faces helping patients and visitors find their way around the hospital.
Their dedication didn't go unnoticed! They were invited to a special NHS awards ceremony (100 tables full of trust staff!) and walked away with special recognition awards as the youngest volunteers there.
We are so proud of you both. This is what Cowley Sixth Form College students are all about: ambition, kindness and making a real difference in our communit#cowleysixthformh#NHSVolunteerst#medicalsciencei#sthelense#DevelopingLifeReadyLearnersrners ... See MoreSee Less
