Beth Carlow
September 2020
University
Beth left our Sixth Form in the summer of 2022 with an A* in Biology, and A grades in Chemistry and Mathematics.
It had been Beth’s long held dream to become a doctor and we were delighted to be able to give her a helping hand in securing her future. With individualised personal statement support and help preparing for her UKCAT, the value of our alumni network came into its own when we were able to put Beth in touch with ex-Greensward student Sam, who is now in his 5th year at Lancaster Medical school. This, when combined with mock interview practice alongside a qualified doctor meant Beth was able to secure her place at ARU and is currently in her second year of a medicine degree!

Dylan Lewzey
September 2021
University
Proving that the bond between Greensward and its students endures, Dylan opted to continue his education elsewhere after completing his GCSEs but, one year and a change of heart later, Dylan returned to grace our corridors and classrooms one more time.
Set on a career as a paramedic, Dylan was able to make use of our dedicated careers advisor to make sure that he was maximising his chances of securing a place at a top ranked university. Making use of all the in school support he could, Dylan received an impressive 5 offers of an undergraduate place, proving that choice is one of the most empowering things we can have.

Lilly Bird
September 2021
University
School should be about broadening your horizons and challenging your comfort zone, and with her decision to move to Northern Ireland for her degree studies, few can deny that Lilly has done just that. Crediting her participation in the Silver Duke of Edinburgh scheme with improving her confidence, Lilly was focused on gaining a place at one of the UK’s top universities.
After gaining BBB in her A levels, Lilly is Belfast bound and, in doing so, completes a clean sweep for Greensward; we are now in the unique position of having students studying in each of the four corners of the United Kingdom!
