I would usually have two study periods a day, where I would either do private study in the library or practise violin in the Music Department. I enjoyed reading articles in Mandarin about the Rural-Urban Gap in China as part of the topic on Equality of Opportunity. In Psychology we learnt about the influence of early attachments on future relationships.

Break times were usually spent in the Sixth Form Diner and twice a week at lunchtime, I would have senior choir which was always great fun.

There were also String Quartet rehearsals once a week and rehearsals for Symphony Orchestra take place after school. I also made time for composing in the music lab using Sibelius on the Macs.”
