“I loved the sense of community at EHC, everyone was so close and welcoming (both staff and students). I loved the fact that every member of staff made an effort to know you, there wasn’t one member of staff that you didn’t know and couldn’t go to for support. I loved all the opportunities e.g. EPQ, extra-curricular (especially sport). I loved how they supported whatever you wanted to do with your life. I always knew I wanted to teach PE and I had amazing role models in the PE department that I aspired to be (and still do). They treat you as the young adults you are but don’t leave you to suffer on your own! They prepared me in the best possible way for university which I’m really grateful for. I was part of the first cohort to attend EHC and it was a big risk signing up for a college that was an empty building but it more than paid off. We got to shape EHC and we were involved in everything that we could be. I just loved my time at EHC! I wouldn’t be where I am now if it wasn’t for EHC and them pushing me and inspiring me!"
