After finishing my studies, I did work experience at Lloyd Dowson which was very beneficial. I enrolled onto the AAT college course at the East Riding College. I was offered a job/studying career at Lloyd Dowson. I am now only a few exams away from finishing my AAT. It’s a great way to start a career as things I learn in my studies help me at work and jobs at work help me with my studies so it’s a win-win situation. The school productions were my all-time favourite getting involved with, Our House, Little Shop of Horrors and Grease was amazing! I enjoyed the ability to share my love for music and performing. University is not always the best route for everyone, keep your options open as there may be other opportunities to grasp closer to home. Sometimes to get a broader picture of availability in careers you need to look locally. There are many local businesses in the area who offer good career prospects.

Enrichment Activities
Show all activitiesThe EPQ allows students to develop independent research and project management skills by completing an in-depth investigation into a topic of their choice. Highly regarded by universities, the EPQ is worth valuable UCAS points and is equivalent to half an A Level. It is an excellent way for students to showcase their academic curiosity and strengthen UCAS applications.
This programme enables students to develop leadership, teamwork, and organisational skills by delivering sports sessions and events. It is an excellent option for those considering careers in coaching, teaching, or sports management, as well as for anyone wanting to build confidence and communication skills.
Through regular debates and competitions, students refine their communication, critical thinking, and public speaking skills. The EBS Debating programme challenges learners to engage with current affairs, form persuasive arguments, and develop confidence in presenting to an audience.
