Saint Benedict, A Catholic Voluntary Academy

I attended Saint Benedict from Y7 – 13. I studied A-levels in Chemistry, Maths, Further Maths and an AS in Biology. At the University of Edinburgh, I studied Maths, with a focus on Applied and Computational Maths. I was also very involved in the theatre and was eventually treasurer for the society. It was great fun as we performed Chicago and Dolly Parton’s 9 to 5. I have just graduated with my Bachelor’s degree and will start a job in London as a Data Engineer.

I completed all my secondary education at Saint Benedict. I am currently studying medicine at the University of East Anglia. In the sixth form I studied A-levels in Biology, Chemistry and Maths. The support I received from various members of staff at school helped me to get to where I am today, especially the Science Department and the Careers Advisor. I also took a gap year, during which I still received support from staff at school, which was reassuring and greatly appreciated. In my opinion Saint Benedict is a school full of passionate and supportive members of staff, who want nothing but the best for their students.

I am in my third year of Medicine at the University of Plymouth. I went to Saint Benedict School from Y7 – 13 and enjoyed every step of the way. I found my passion for healthcare early on, and with the help of my teachers, I chose the subjects that suited me and enabled me to move onto the course I wanted to do. I studied Biology, Chemistry and Maths at A-level. The journey so far has been incredible with placements in a variety of specialities, practising clinical skills such as venepuncture and learning anatomy and physiology. Medicine has so much to offer, and I look forward to what the future may hold.
