Summary

I am a dedicated and motivated student who has recently completed my GCSE exams and I'm currently awaiting results, which are due in August. During my time at school, I developed strong communication, organisation and problem solving skills both through academic work and extracurricular activities. One of my key experiences was taking part in the Duke of Edinburgh Award, including a residential trip where I learned valuable skills in teamwork, independence and resilience. I take pride in my ability to stay focused under pressure and I'm always striving to improve and challenge myself.


As I await my results, I look forward to gaining further experience in a working environment and continuing to develop both personally and professionally.

Additional Information

School Work Experience- Classroom Assistant, Al Ameen Primary School.


During my work experience placement at a local primary school, I supported teachers in delivering lessons and helping pupils with their learning. My responsibilities included assisting children with Maths and English, particularly those who needed extra support. I also marked quiz papers, inputted results onto school's computer system, and helped with general administrative tasks such as photocopying and filing. This experience developed my communication skills, patience, attention to detail, and ability to work in a busy, team-focused environment.
