Progressed to Mechanical Engineering, University of Cambridge.

I decided to go to KHS Sixth Form as I knew from my time at the school that there is always a positive environment and the teachers are very helpful and supportive.

The teaching of Year 12 maths has been effective as I've been able to understand every topic we've covered so far, and there are lots of opportunities for extra help such as lunchtime sessions.

I aim to pursue a career in finance and A Level maths will be very useful for this.
