Mental Health Warrior
I joined King’s Interhigh in September 2014, when my mental health issues were preventing me from attending my local high school full time.
King’s Interhigh gave me the flexibility to study half of my exam subjects from home, which enabled me to focus on improving my health and achieving the best possible grades in all my exams.
Preparing for a better future…
I’m currently on a voluntary gap year living and working in a residential school for children with additional support needs in Aberdeen. In September I will start studying Psychology at the University of Glasgow.
Studying with King’s Interhigh taught me how to take responsibility for my learning, whilst giving me the support and guidance necessary to prepare me for my exams. I also met one of my best friends in my King’s Interhigh classes; we have kept in touch since and I look forward to visiting him one day in California!
