After I was promoted to Petty Officer in my final year, it became my responsibility, along with the other Senior Sixth Form Navy cadets, to train up the new intake of Third Formers. As part of the Navy section, I’ve been sailing, powerboating, kayaking, and windsurfing, as well as going on courses in leadership, firefighting, and damage control (saving a sinking ship). I joined CCF in Third Form as a new recruit in the Royal Navy section, and continued it until I left at the end of Senior Sixth Form. The two largest extra-curricular activities in my life at City were taking part in CCF and the Theatre Tech Team. I took part in School Parliament, volunteered in the John Carpenter Bookshop, and took saxophone lessons. However, what really set the school apart and made it perfect for me was the vast range of extra-curricular activities.
I really enjoyed this as it allowed me to study a broad range of subjects and keep up with current events, as well as helping me learn different skills such as essay writing and structuring arguments.Ĭity is an excellent school academically, and I have no doubt that I would not be where I am today if it weren’t for the excellent education I received there. Unusually for an engineering student, I also did an A Level in Government and Politics. I am now studying for an MEng in Ship Science at the University of Southampton. I was in a small class of ten which was perfect for having a great class dynamic, as well as getting on really well with my physics teachers and being able to ask for their help with anything, even if it wasn’t strictly physics related.
In terms of my academic studies, studying for my physics A Level was one of my best experiences at the school. After coming back from university to attend Prize Day, I started to think about my lasting impressions and best memories of the school.
