Subjects:

Why did you choose to study at Xaverian?

I preferred to go to a College rather than a sixth form. I like how it’s a bit more like a university where you don’t have to stay in school all the time and you have a bit of independence, plus I like all the courses and the teachers seem really nice.

Chemistry, the lessons are interesting and I enjoy the practicals.

What has been your most memorable moment?

Just spending time with my friends outside of my lessons

What has been your proudest moment?

How has Xaverian helped you prepare for the future?

Xaverian has given me a lot of support throughout my A Levels, even though the College is about being more independent, the support is there if you need it, especially the counselling and mental health support.
