I’ve always wondered how things work, from rocket ships to the human body. Why do we sneeze? What causes disease? Science aims to provide the answers. I love it and I’m sure you will too.

I have nothing but praise for Wolsey Hall, such a great organisation, very professional but at the same time supportive and friendly. The Student Progress Manager was not only a great support for my son but was always there for me too when I needed advice. Deniz has been studying IGCSE Biology, English Lang, History & Maths.
