Paget High School

I am studying Multimedia Journalism at the University of Salford, which couldn’t have been
done without Paget’s help. Mr Kinrade gave me brilliant guidance on my UCAS application
and personal statement during Year 13, ranging from structure and language to
encouraging me to be myself throughout the whole process.
My subject teachers provided me with support in the classroom regarding my chosen
subjects, but most importantly, they helped me navigate any stresses or concerns I had
during my time doing A-Levels without judgement

From the beginning of Year 12, teachers helped me with my journey to Oxford. This ranged from being given extra work that I asked
for or that they thought would be useful and helping me with super-curriculars. Mr Kinrade
helped me with my personal statement by giving critical feedback to make my application
more attractive; staff helped me prepare for interview, my admission tests and provided
motivation. Most importantly, I always felt as if my teachers believed in the possibility of
me getting into Oxford. This meant that when I struggled with self-confidence there were
teachers that listened to me and helped me get through the doubts.

Currently I am a university student of Bangor University in North Wales where I am
completing an undergraduate degree in Modern Languages - including German, French and
Spanish. This, however, wouldn’t have happened without guidance from my teachers and
form tutor as they gave me the tools and information to carry forward my career in
languages.
