Throughout my time at Kingsley Sixth Form… I had a goal to earn a swimming scholarship to a university in the USA. I was supported the entire time…I was provided with all the resources I needed to be successful in both school and sport.
What did you study at Sixth Form?
I studied Maths, Physics and Chemistry.
What did you study at university?
I am currently studying towards two degrees, 1 in Marketing and 1 in Business Management.
What support did you access/receive while at The Kingsley School in order to take the next step?
Throughout my time at Kingsley Sixth Form, I was committed to competitive swimming and had a goal to earn a swimming scholarship to a university in the USA. I was supported the entire time and the staff helped me balance both my academics and sports. They made accommodations for my training schedule, allowing flexibility if I needed extra time to complete work if I was away at a swim meet. I was provided with all the resources I needed to be successful in both school and sport.
Did you ever receive an exam support, essay support or interview support?
The small class sizes helped significantly with exam and essay support. A levels are demanding, so being able to have a small ratio of teacher to student helped me gain a better understanding in school and I would be able to get more personalized help if I was struggling. Any topics I struggled on in exams I would get extra support for.
What is your fondest memory of Sixth Form?
Christmas dinner was always my favourite memory of each year, especially when we would see the Christmas video for the year.
What are you doing now?
I am in my final year of studies at Florida Gulf Coast University and am planning on graduating in May with a bachelors in marketing and a bachelors in business management. I am also working for a sports recruiting company that helps athletes from around the world obtain university sports scholarships to the USA.
