When Jake Satchelle gets home from college each afternoon, his sister, 13, asks the same question: what did you learn today? The 17-year-old, from Horsham, West Sussex, is studying for a level 3 criminology qualification, where he learns about issues such as miscarriages of justice – and then shares his newfound knowledge with his younger sibling. “We’re both obsessed with criminology, and she has the same drive that I have. It’s really sweet,” he says.
Satchelle is one of the first in his family to go into further education. He’s taking A-levels in sociology, drama and theatre studies, but is particularly keen on level 3 criminology. “There’s a wealth of knowledge in criminology that can also be applied to real life, and it appeals to people who have a general interest in crime.”
