student profiles student profiles Student Profiles What makes King Edward’s such a vibrant, exciting and stimulating place to study are those around you - your fellow students. There is no such thing as the typical King Ed’s student, although all seem united in their efforts to make the most of every opportunity, to help and support others and to achieve their maximum potential. The following profiles provide a brief insight into what life at King Ed’s is really like, from a student perspective. Morgan Name: Morgan Lowther Former School: Ounsdale School A2 Subjects: Maths & Mechanics Chemistry Physics Why I chose KE: Wanted a esh start and it seemed more like a half way house between school and university than ordinary sixth forms. Describe your involvement with the HE+ scheme: Attended Physics extension classes. I found the visit to Cambridge University really useful as it opened my mind to applying. What I hope to do next year Natural Sciences (Physical) at Cambridge University What words or phrases would you use to sum up what is good about KE? Confidence boost, excellent opportunity, high standard of teaching & great support. Zoe Name: Zoe Emery Former School: Redhill School A2 Subjects: Biology Geology English Literature Spanish Why I chose KE: It is considered one of the best sixth form colleges in the country and its record of achieving high results provided the greatest attraction. My favourite subject, and why: Geology & Spanish – in both subjects there are a wide variety of teaching methods, lessons are interactive and relaxed, but help you develop and not just teach you the skills needed to pass exams. What words of advice would you offer new students about to start at the college? Talk to everyone! Don’t worry if you are the only person om your old school here; it’s such a relaxed and iendly environment that you will soon get into the swing of things and make new iends. Choose subjects you enjoy but have a plan for university before you come so the activities you choose will enhance university applications. What words or phrases would you use to sum up what is good about KE? Attracts like minded students, good working atmosphere, offers a wide range of subjects. What next? College bursary supporting my gap year in Peru. Simon Name: Simon Baldwin Former School: Earls A2 Subjects: English Language & Literature Maths Music How do you think coming to KE has helped you most? KE has helped me to study more independently, providing me with essential skills needed in preparation for university education. What I hope to do next year (and where at) Maths & Music joint Honours degree at Birmingham University. Describe your involvement with the HE+ scheme: It gave me access to information about making an Oxbridge application. I partook in English master-classes to extend my depth of knowledge in this subject. What words of advice would you offer new students about to start at the college? Work hard; you will only get out of the experience what you put into it. Enjoy it; the two years will go very quickly! What words or phrases would you use to sum up what is good about KE? Confidence building High standards of tuition Life-long iends 14 www.kedst.ac.uk admissions@kedst.ac.uk
