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.
