Medicine Application Process with Dr Devani: 15th March 

Dr Devani from Step2Med spoke to the Year 11 and 12 students about preparing to apply for Medicine or Dentistry, the realities of the profession and the high standards required to be considered by university admissions teams. Students were able to ask questions to help them plan their next steps in the process. Dr Devani will be back in the summer term to discuss the BMAT and UCAT examinations with the Year 12 students. 

Physics Olympiad

Our two Year 12 Physics students have recently taken part in the Senior Physics Olympiad Challenge. This competition develops students’ problem-solving skills, which is a key skill that universities are looking for.

This year in particular, the standard of the problems was very challenging and it is really pleasing to announce that both Saiya J and Aaishah S  achieved the Gold Award.

“You’re Hired” 2023

The PSHCE Department is very grateful to the parents who came into school to carry out the interviews for our "You're Hired" activity for Year 11.  In this the girls applied for one of four fictitious Saturday jobs, prepared their CV and an application letter and then received an interview for which they had the opportunity to dress in their interview clothes and have a real interview experience.  The best candidate for each position won a £10 Amazon voucher.  The successful applicants were: Cassidy C, Fatimah D, Suzan A, Safiyah P and Esha K, but it was a valuable experience for all and they looked impressively smart in their interview outfits.
