Dr Kishan Bodalia
I had an amazing experience at Warwick School Sixth Form, where I developed the skills, knowledge and confidence necessary for a successful career in medicine.
Having been a pupil at Warwick School since junior school, progressing to the Sixth Form felt like a natural continuation of my educational journey. The Sixth Form's structured learning through lessons, coupled with the flexibility of free periods, allowed me to balance academic pursuits with extracurricular activities such as music and sports. I studied, such as chemistry, biology, maths, and economics, primarily chosen as requirements for medical school. The free periods were particularly valuable as they allowed me to engage in independent learning and research, as well as seek guidance from teachers and mentors in that time. This helped me develop into a more independent thinker and identify the most suitable pathways for my future. The support provided by teachers and mentors during university application and interview preparation was invaluable, helping me navigate the complex process and build the confidence to excel in my interviews. Additionally, the opportunities to lead and public speak through various extracurricular activities honed my communication skills, which have proven essential in my current role as a doctor (currently in GP training). Warwick School Sixth Form not only provided me with the necessary academic qualifications for medical school but also developed essential skills, such as time management, problem-solving, and critical thinking, which have been instrumental in my professional and personal life”.
