Emily Holden
What are your future aspirations?
I’d like to work in the film industry, in the UK or the US. I’m good at organising and also have a creative side so something like directing.
I’m also interested in working in business as I’ve had experience of that from my family.
How are Seaford helping with your aspirations?
The teachers are so attentive. They realise your skills and potential and will suggest things to you that will help. My teachers have given me the confidence to push myself further, this has helped me to go for something that I love rather than something that I feel I should do.
Mrs Grantham-Smith has recognised my skills and is giving me opportunities. So are the Marketing team. I’m a Student Content Creator for them and I’ve learnt a lot from the experience; I’ve had experience photographing events and taking video footage.
I now approach an event in a completely different way when I take photos, I’m thinking of the story and what photos I need to tell it in the best way.

What are your future aspirations?
I want to work in Marine Biology. I like the sea a lot. The colours and how fish work together.
I’ve looked at Exeter and it would be at the Cornwall campus which is amazing. I’m really drawn to it. Southampton have a really good course too.
It’s an ABB course. I know I’ll need to work hard but I believe in myself. My challenge grades are ABB too. I’m gauging where I’m at and feelingIcandoit. Iwon’tpush myself so much that I break down, that wouldn’t be worth it. I find exams quite stressful – it’s the build-up. I want to show what I can do. I need to focus more on what I believe I can do.
After university I’d like to go travelling. I want to experience the world. I’m in a small bubble at the momentIwanttogetoutofit– explore and see everything! I’ll do that for a few years and then settle down.
How does Seaford help?
There are great revision guides and the teachers give advice on how to revise. They support you really well and put on revision sessions.
“Not everyone’s a round peg. Students can be themselvesatSeaford. Oneofthespecialthings about the school is the friendly and diverse community. That’s what drew us in, if you can’t find your thing here you’re not going to find it. We like the fact it’s academically non-selective. Everyone is encouraged to achieve their best.”
