Bella Cowland find exams difficult but she was very pleased to achieve a B in geography and a C in French in spite of dyslexia and panic attacks.
Next year she will study early year’s education and child care.
Bella and her mother would like to thank the geography department, in particular, and the Special Educational Needs department for their support.
