Charlie Hattam

My experiences so far, at the age of 17 years old, have given me a great opportunity to explore and develop the skills that are crucial to being a core part of being an effective member of the pupil leadership group at Cheltenham College.

My early experience of living in a school boarding house gave me exposure not only to aspirational characters but also enveloped me in a positive and energetic culture which enjoyed success.

Being awarded an exhibition for sport at College was a pivotal moment for me, I worked very hard for it. I have enjoyed the opportunities sport has given me to work hard to a common goal, display my commitment, deal with disappointment and bounce back, support others and learn to listen as well as talk. I have viewed these as full school opportunities.

I have been determined to make the most of all opportunities afforded to me at College, enjoying house singing, the opportunity to direct and act in the House Show. I was very pleased I was asked to return to school and take responsibility with others, for the 3rd form inset with Hazelwell. I have taken any responsibilities given to me such as sign in seriously and I am proud not to have recieved a detention during my time at school.

My achievements in Boyne have led me to be awarded my House Colours.
