The Malling School

Being the foundation year, has one downside that is having another year to my studies but, it was so worth it. If you are thinking of going to university and they offer you a foundation year,you accept that, you then have your ticket on the plane as my lecturer says, onto the degree you want to do. If I could go back to my secondary school younger self, there is so much I would tell myself first that would probably be teachers are not there to be against you so work with them, they will help and support you if you are nice to them. If you knuckle down now, you’ll achieve so much and will become what you have your heart desired on if you let yourself believe.

My experience at The Malling School has been pivotal to my success journey so far and I look forward to seeing where it leads!

I studied five subjects for my IB Careers Programme qualification: History, English, Psychology, Business and Criminology, achieving the equivalent to 5 A*’s at A-Level. Studying these subjects gave me the writing and analysis skills required to carry forward into my Marketing and Management degree at Newcastle University. From my degree I have grown passionate about the finance industry, and I hope to pursue a career in commercial banking at a large bank such as HSBC or Lloyd’s.

I am thankful for all the support given to me by The Malling School and they have taught me that if you put your mind to it, you really can achieve anything.

After 2 years of studying Health and Social Care and receiving a grade Distinction, Merit, Merit (DMM) overall I was accepted into The University of Greenwich to Study Adult Nursing and being granted the Great Skills Scholarship to aid my education. I am now in my first year and I am thoroughly enjoying university, I’ve met so many new amazing people and made amazing memories already only 2 months in! I have also been made a Personal Tutor Group (PTG) representative which is where anybody in my group can come to me to raise any issues and concerns and I can feedback these to our personal tutor and I may go on to be an Adult Nursing representative of my cohort (09/24), but these haven’t been decided yet.
