Oliver achieved 2 A’s and a C in Maths, Business and Law. When asked why he chose to study at Bede Sixth Form College, he said: “The locality was a big factor and I liked how the college had a 10am start”. He continued to tell us how his favourite aspect has been the people who he has met here. Oliver also took part in debate sessions for a few months during his first year and also tried to start up his own chess team.
Having now accepted a place at Durham University, Oliver will be studying to get a degree in Accounting and Finance with the big ambition to retire as early as possible!
