Summary
I am a current Sixth-form student at Sidney Stringer Sixth Form, studying the BTEC Level 3 National Extended Diploma in Applied Science. By the end of my time here at Sixth Form, I am aspiring to achieve a D*DD. I enjoy working with members of staff to maintain the attitudes of the school, as well as supporting students who are younger than me with different tasks and questions. I have a lot of experience in volunteering as I have participated in the running of different events, such as open evenings and charity work by answering questions and concerns professionally and ensuring the activities that were available were carried out consistently. I aim to commit to my role when working with others to carry out different responsibilities which align with the values of Coventry Building Societies in the working world.
