My role is to oversee the academic life of the school, to monitor progress across the departments, and to encourage every pupil to be aspirational in their choices for post-A Level study. I also run the Inspire Higher Education Programme, which offers tailored support to all pupils preparing for competitive academic applications. Whether you want to learn how to prepare and write a top-level Personal Statement, or practise the skills required for thoughtful performance at interview, our programme offers a wealth of support and expertise.

I am incredibly proud to be Head of Sixth Form, supporting pupils through these two final and critical years of school. A Levels form the core of the fortnightly timetable, but Sixth Form at King’s High is rich, varied and about so much more. This team is here to support you with future plans as well as with your day-to-day experience.

I have had wide experience guiding students through many aspects of Higher Education delivery. I have helped over 1600 candidates with UCAS applications, ranging from Humanities to Sciences and everything in between. I lead the team of dedicated and experienced Higher Education Advisors, to ensure that only the best support and guidance is available for each individual applicant.

As someone who has over 20 years of experience in the procedures of university applications, I am here to guide you through the process of drawing up and submitting your application to universities through the UCAS system. With increased competition for top places, it is important to get this right, to afford you the best chances of getting where you want to be once you leave King’s.

My role is to help you discover the right post-18 option and to assist you with your decision-making process. I explore degree apprenticeships, higher education, work and gap year opportunities amongst other post-18 possibilities. I will help you to think about your future, both in Higher Education and beyond. I coordinate the host of events and activities designed to prepare you for life beyond King's, including careers talks, networking events, work experience, profiling, and information events on topics such as student finance, gap years, student life, and beyond.

My role is to help develop students’ understanding of the ‘world of work’. This includes informal discussions about what a student's career aspirations are and how they might get there, formal lessons on the graduate job market, and how to improve their employability skills. I am also involved in arranging regular lunchtime careers talks from alumni and other members of the wider community. As a Sixth Form tutor, I am fully involved in the UCAS process including training staff and pupils on the use of Unifrog, which helps pupils select the universities they may wish to apply for and write their personal statement. I have been involved in careers education, UCAS and work experience in the independent sector for over 18 years and I find it one of the most rewarding aspects of my work as a teacher.

As Foundation International Universities Counsellor, my aim is to help students explore post-A Level options in countries outside of the UK where their interests and talents might be well suited. A major part of this role is to provide information and detailed advice about the range and types of courses available and the strengths that many non-UK universities offer as well as helping students and parents navigate the demands of foreign admissions procedures, which are very different from UCAS. Much of the focus will be on North American universities and particularly on Ivy League and other highly selective college admissions, but there will also be advice on and application support for degree courses offered entirely or primarily in English in other countries. Assistance with the differing admissions policies, testing requirements, essay writing, financial aid and sporting scholarships will also be offered to both interested students and parents.

As the coordinator of the Medicine and Health Professional Pathway, my role is to support Sixth Form students in making successful applications to study Medicine, Dentistry or Allied Healthcare courses at university. Applying for these highly competitive subjects requires an enormous amount of preparative work and I provide targeted guidance, advice and training to support our students through this. Our programme focuses on helping pupils secure appropriate work experience, preparing for the UCAT and BMAT entrance exams, and practising interview skills. As part of my role, I liaise with alumni from across the Foundation; organising lectures, seminars and workshops with former pupils who are currently studying, or have recently graduated from, a variety of Healthcare courses, allowing them to share their experience and wisdom with our current students.

I became part of the Sixth Form team when I joined King's High at our new site in 2019 and saw our new Shared Sixth Form Centre come to life. Last summer, my family and I moved into Way House. Boarding has added a new dimension to our Sixth Form and I'm particularly excited to see Boarding provision grow and develop over the next couple of years.

Since joining the Sixth Form Team from Key Stage 4 in 2021 I find it a particular privilege to work with students in the final years of their schooling as they begin to find independence. I have experience working with applicants to top universities, including Oxbridge, and have been involved in the academic enrichment provision throughout the school. I thrive on providing outstanding pastoral care to students while also supporting their academic, sporting, musical, dramatic and many other ambitions.

I have been part of the Sixth Form team for two years and really enjoy working with students through these important and exciting final years of their school education. It's a privilege to support students pastorally and academically, whilst also having fun and celebrating their achievements at every opportunity.
