September 2022
University
I attended The Clare School for a short period of time when I was younger before I moved away, I then returned and joined Sixth Form in 2022. I have undertaken ASDAN Personal Progress accreditation and have successfully completed a number of modules to gain this qualification. I have enjoyed all the experiences in 6th form but particularly spending time with my friends. I will be attending City College for 3 days and The Hamlet Centre for 2 days.

I have loved being at Clare school. I really enjoyed my trips into the city when I was in Kim's class. My favourite place at school is the flat. I love spending time there and will miss it. I'm going to miss Olivia and my friends Harrison and Rhys. I was very lucky and I got to go to Centre Parcs with my friends. This made me feel happy and I had the best time.

I have been at the Clare school for many years, since I was little. I have learnt lots of stuff, the things I have enjoyed the most is English, making pottery in Art and life skills is my favourite. I like mixing and chopping up the ingredients. I have had lots of fun in the soft play room too. We have been on lots of trips to different places but I think my favourite trips are when we go to the Theatre Royal. However I think my favourite day at school is when I dressed up as a whoopie cushion. I am now off on a new adventure, in September I will start at the East Coast College, I have been to have a look around and meet my teacher and seen my classroom, it looks good. My class will be called ‘The Broads’. I am nervous to leave the Clare School but I am very excited for college.
