Employed
I left Kineton sixth form in 2015 with A*AA in maths, further maths and physics. I went on to Imperial College London to study Electrical and Electronic engineering and finished the 4 year course with a first class MEng qualification. I currently work at Partner Electronics Ltd in Silverstone as an electronics engineer. I look back on my time at Kineton fondly and hope all the current students can still enjoy it despite the pandemic!

University
After achieving A, A, B at Kineton Sixth Form, I am now currently studying Fashion Management in my first year at Nottingham Trent University, which was my first choice. I am currently undertaking modules in textiles & product, marketing, design and visuals. This is something I have always been interested in and Kineton has helped me achieve my goal of studying fashion. In the future I would like to pursue a career in buying where I will decide and buy fabrics from all over the world which would be most suitable for the brand’s garment. With my course in February I will be visiting Premiere Vision in Paris which is a fabric trade show. I also have the opportunity to visit New York next year and undergo a placement year. I am therefore very excited for what the next few years have to hold.

Employed
My name is Oliver Whitehouse, I studied at Kineton my entire secondary school life and then went on to sixth form as well. I believe completed my studies in June of 2016. Since studying at Kineton I went onto university and achieved a first class degree in graphic design from Coventry university. Throughout my time at university I built a small base of clients and worked as a freelance photographer/videographer. The end of my university studies coincided with the start of the pandemic and consequently the job market for young creatives folded almost instantly. Despite this I continued to work on building my portfolio of freelance clients and fast forward a year later, I now run my own creative agency called White Space Collective. Specialising in Video marketing and video production for corporate businesses.
