Chloe left St Michael’s in 2015 and began her next chapter at Bede College, choosing A-levels in Maths, Biology, Business Studies, and an AS in Chemistry. Like many students, she originally thought she knew the career path she wanted - nursing. But college opened new doors, and discovering Business Studies sparked a passion she had never expected. ![Image of From St Michael’s to Red Bull Racing: Sam’s Epic Engineering Adventure](https://files.schudio.com/st-michael-s-catholic-academy-3/imagecache/720x440c/news/Screenshot_2026-03-13_at_11.45.07.png) 1 November 2025 ### [From St Michael’s to Red Bull Racing: Sam’s Epic Engineering Adventure](https://stmichaels.bhcet.org.uk/news/2025-11-01-from-st-michael-s-to-red-bull-racing-sam-s-epic-engineering-adventure) Sam Binns left St Michael’s in 2012 and has had a seriously cool journey since!
