Alongside my studies, I enjoy cooking, especially baking. I love trying new recipes out on my family and friends. They always enjoy eating whatever I have made for them.
Khadija

Khadija was part of the second cohort of students on the school’s prestigious colleges programme, applying to selective schools. She was successfully awarded a place at Fulham School on a full bursary worth £50,000.
Samuel
Cumberland Community School
For three years, I have been playing the piano and I regularly enjoy reading for pleasure. I am currently reading 'The Road Trip'.
Cemre
Waterside Academy
Cemre enrolled on the prestigious college programme and successfully was awarded a full scholarship to study A-levels at Ashbourne College worth £10,000 a term.
Amelia
Forest Gate School
Amelia began her first year at FGCS during a pandemic. Being in a new school and trying to figure out new rules during such an usual time was ‘weird’, but she praises the teachers around her for supporting her.
Lavinia
Forest Gate School
An active member in her school, Lavinia takes part in Student Council, Politeness Ambassadors, Anti-Bullying Club and multisports when she’s not studying.
Zakaria
Forest Gate School
