If I had to describe myself in one word, I’d have to say curious. I like to try a lot of new things, and there’s never a point where you would hear me say, I don’t want to try that.
Maleeha
I’m studying health and social, English language and applied business. I love business because you learn so many life skills in it and I want to be an entrepreneur one day.
Oliver
Right now I’m working on a project with my friend, Theo. We’re creating a remoted control car and we’ve 3D printed the body, and we are sanding and priming it at the moment. I’d love to make engineering a part of my life. Whether it’s my career or hobby — I love making things.
Libby
I think being dedicated is such a huge quality of mine as I find huge interest in putting all my efforts into my work and gaining good results out of them. I think all my teachers only want the best for me and always push me in the right direction as they know I want to achieve.
Jonathan
Maths is always gonna be my favourite no matter what. I’ve always loved maths from a young age — it’s just always resonated with me. I have lots of big aspirations for myself, big dreams I want to achieve.

We have just done gel electropheresis in biology. You put a DNA sample into a little tube in a tray of gel, and the colours will spread and you can tell which one is the son or daughter of a maternal, or paternal, DNA sample.
Theo
I’ve had lots of work experience within motorsport and aerospace, the last of which was down in Kent, and I was working on missile parts and fighter jet parts.
