Following achieving 10 GCSE's (grades 9 - 6) this summer, I have recently become a Sixth Form student at LRGS where I will be studying German, History and Politics 'A' Levels, with the aim of studying History at degree level.

During my time at the school, I have demonstrated responsibility and commitment by maintaining good academic standing while balancing extracurricular activities such as rugby, cricket, CCF Army section, completing the Duke of Edinburgh Bronze award and volunteering at my local cricket club.

These experiences have also allowed me to:

• Enhance my communication skills with people of all ages and backgrounds.
• Collaborate with classmates on group projects to achieve shared academic goals.
• Complete assignments, special projects and group work on time and achieve good marks.
• Communicate with teachers to obtain feedback, applying it to future projects.
• Visit local and regional areas to deepen understanding of related topics.
• Generate written materials with meticulous attention to grammar and spelling.
• Gain valuable team working experience.
• Exemplify leadership qualities by being selected as cricket captain, promotion to Corporal within CCF Army section and recipient of the Contingent Commander's "Best Cadet" award.
• Show flexibility and adaptability when asked to fit in with different sports teams at short notice.
• Develop excellent time management skills.
• Develop resilience and a hard-working attitude.

I have worked part-time over the summer holidays as a labourer for a plastering company which was hard work but I also enjoyed it immensely. I have learned some new skills through my duties which included:

• Improving site cleanliness by regularly removing debris and waste materials.
• Loading and unloading building materials, aiding in maintaining orderly workspace.
• Utilising hand tools and machinery effectively ensuring accuracy and precision in all jobs performed.
• Following all safety procedures for accident-free working conditions.
• Demonstrating excellent teamwork skills whilst carrying out manual tasks.
• Mixing construction materials such as cement or plaster for various tasks.
• Aiding skilled workers, contributing to timely project completion.
• Showing punctuality and reliability.
• Following instructions with strict attention to detail to perform assigned tasks under minimal supervision.
