Grabbing every opportunity
By the time Ashley joined the sixth form, he had already spent time on campus through a Unifest experience that stayed with him.
鈥淚t was great to get a taste for the University, and I made friends I still speak to today,鈥� he said.
鈥淚 booked an open day for the sixth form, and after the application and interview process, I got in!鈥�
Since joining, Ashley has relished the chance to dive into his subjects and appreciates that his teachers are as passionate about the work as he is:
鈥淭he tutors are incredible. I have very strong relationships with them and am grateful for their support and guidance every step of my journey so far.鈥�
While he is looking forward to the upcoming Culture Day celebrations, the undoubted highlight of Ashley鈥檚 sixth form journey so far has been the Turing Scheme-funded trip to Singapore.
鈥淭he trip was eye-opening and really widened my mind to environmental impact and how I can be a more conscious global citizen. I'd even go as far as to say it strengthened my morality.鈥�
In the long-term Ashley hopes to pursue a university degree and possibly work in public health, but for now he鈥檚 enjoying his time at sixth form, and acting as school captain.
鈥淗opefully my subject choices will stand me in good stead to study for a degree in the health sector while leaving me options if I change my mind!鈥�
