What do you study at Seaford?
English Literature, Biology and Geography A Levels.
Why did you choose these subjects?
I like academic subjects.
I find Biology really interesting. It’s hard but it teaches me to drive for something. English is really interesting too. I like analysing. You can read a book but to really understand it is something different. You kind of get to look inside someone’s brain. Coming up with ideas about why something is written – I like that.
Idoartinmyowntime–Iwind down with it, for me it would have been too much to do as a subject. Both my grandads were artists. One did illustration for the BBC and taught at the Royal Academy of Arts.
How long have you been at Seaford?
I started in Year 6, so eight years ago. It was very different then. A lot less modern.
How did you find the transition from GCSE to A Levels?
It’s nice to have only three subjects to focus on. Study periods are a life saver. I get the prep done so I am able to relax after school. It’s upping the tempo with the complexity of the subject so I need to take time off for myself. I plan my time well – I make sure I get it done. I quite like it. It’s fast and there’s a lot of interesting ideas and concepts to get into.
In Purple Time I do Biomedical Science, it helps me understand stats better. It's great to have co- curricular activities that support my academic studies.
“Being a Music Scholar at Seaford has inspired me;
ultimately I want to go to the Royal College of
Music or another Conservatoire.”
