I chose to stay at RR6 because I had already attended Ricards Lodge from Year 7 to Year 11, so I was familiar with the school, the teachers and the environment. I felt more comfortable continuing my education at the same place rather than starting somewhere new and having to adjust to a different setting. Staying at Ricards will allow me to focus on my A levels while receiving help and support from my teachers, who can guide me through my studies.

What subjects are you studying at RR6?

BTEC Sport, Sociology, Philosophy 

What do you enjoy most about your studies?

At RR6, what I enjoy the most was making new friends and meeting new people. I enjoy building relationships with them and receiving their support throughout the school year. In terms of my studies, I enjoy learning new subjects, such as Sociology and Philosophy, which I had not studied at GCSE. Studying these subjects has introduced me to new ideas and different perspectives while also challenging me to think more critically.

What do you plan to do in the future after RR6?

After completing my studies at RR6, I plan to attend university to study for a degree in Physiotherapy. In the future, I would like to explore different areas of physiotherapy, particularly working with children as a paediatric physiotherapist. This interests me because I would be able to help children recover from injuries and support their early development. I am also interested in working in professional sport, ideally as a physiotherapist for an elite sports team, such as a Premier League football club. Another option I would consider is working in a private healthcare clinic where I would gain valuable experience treating a wide range of patients.
