WHY DID YOU DECIDE TO STUDY AT A LEVEL AT LINGFIELD SIXTH FORM?
I decided to remain at Lingfield for my A Level studies due to the vibrant and nurturing environment. The aspirational approach to learning combined with the rich co-curricular opportunities, most visibly seen in Lingfield MUN, ensures a well-rounded and enriching experience.
CO-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES
I have decided to continue my heavy involvement with Lingfield Model United Nations, where I will continue to serve as the club's Deputy Secretary-General. MUN offers an excellent opportunity for individuals to enhance and hone their public speaking and confidence skills, and I strongly encourage other members of the 6th Form to join our MUN club based on the benefits it can provide!
FUTURE ASPIRATIONS
I plan on studying economics or taking a political and economics-related course, such as PPE. After this, I wish to pursue a career in Investment Banking.
