What did you study? 

I studied Classical Civilisation, Psychology, and Religious Studies.

What are your plans for the future? 

I am currently in my first year at Norland College in Bath, studying Early Years Childhood Education and Care to be a Norland Nanny (you might recognise us by our brown dresses and hats!).

What makes JCG distinctive/unique? 

JCG provides lots of opportunities for every type of person- the athletes, the artists, the performers, the academics, the leaders, the extroverts, the introverts, and really every type of person! The staff (and other students) are also so supportive if you have new ideas for the school and so you can really make your experience at JCG your own. The staff are great at recognising the effort you put in and are always there if you need a helping hand or a chat.

What advice would you give to a prospective Sixth Form student? 

Make the most of your study periods! It won’t seem important at the time but use the majority of your study periods for revision and making resources that you can use again later on. Some days will be challenging so save some ‘frees’ for the days when you need to chill with a cup of tea- but other than the days you really need it, use your study periods wisely! Also, remember that the more you put in, the more you’ll get out- try lots of new things, talk to a range of people, engage in lessons, listen in guest speaker assemblies, and generally appreciate every moment you have in sixth form as it’s the best time for you to flourish and find yourself. Good luck!
