TWO former Priestley students who received offers to study Medicine returned to college to share the good news with their former teachers.
Sadie Johnstone and Noore Saba, both of whom studied Chemistry at Priestley, met Shahida Khanam and Lewis Edwards-Yates to thank them for their support in securing places at University of Liverpool.
“Both Sadie and Noore are examples of the support and belief Priestley has for its students,” said Shahida. “They should be so proud of themselves and what they have achieved.”
Both achieved excellent UCAS scores and impressed throughout their time at Priestley.
Sadie, who also studied Biology and Maths chose to join the Pre Med programme, which is specifically designed to give Priestley students the skills and knowledge they need to make a good start in Medicine.
The former Birchwood High School pupil, who collected two A*s and an A in her A-Levels, said: “If my teachers hadn’t believed in me the way they did I wouldn’t be at this point. You can’t do it on your own.”
On results day Noore, who wants to become a doctor, achieved an A in Psychology and Bs in Chemistry and Biology.
During her two years at college she completed the Pre Med as well as The Graduate programme, which helps prepare Priestley students for applying and studying at the UK’s most competitive universities.
“I wouldn’t have been able to achieve this without the Pre Med,” said Noore. “Especially because of the support it gave me in preparing for interviews. It just gave me more understanding of what was expected of me.”
