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 dedicated to guiding UCAS candidates through all aspects of university application and have been helping students with Higher Education choices for over 25 years. I am experienced in advising on that all important personal statement, ranging from Archaeology to Zoology and everything in between. I work closely with our highly professional team of Sixth Form Tutors and Higher Education Advisors to ensure that only the best support is available for each individual applicant

As the Coordinator of the Medicine and Health Professional Pathway, my role is to support Sixth Form pupils in making successful applications to study Medicine, Dentistry, Veterinary 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 pupils through this. Our programme focuses on helping pupils secure appropriate work experience, preparing for the UCAT and entrance examinations, 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 medical courses, allowing them to share their experience and wisdom.   

I am dedicated to guiding and empowering students in their journey towards post-18 opportunities. My role focuses on facilitating informed decisionmaking processes and aiding the exploration of diverse pathways post-education. I help students delve deeper into the various avenues available to them, including, but not limited to, degree apprenticeships, higher education prospects, work opportunities, and gap year experiences, offering comprehensive guidance to broaden students' perspectives on their future. My aim is to foster an understanding of Higher Education while also nurturing a vision which encompasses life beyond academia. In my role, I facilitate and organise a myriad of events and activities to help equip students for life beyond our institution. These include career talks, networking forums, work experiences, personalised profiling, and informative sessions spanning crucial topics like employability skills, interview preparation, degree apprenticeships and the graduate job market.

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 as well as being 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.

My role is to prepare and monitor the progress of pupils wishing to undertake the LNAT and the TSA entrance assessments. The LNAT is required by several of the UK’s leading universities to test a candidate’s aptitude for the skills required to study Law. The Cambridge Law Test is an entrance assessment required by the University of Cambridge, which candidates must sit if they wish to read Law there.

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 as Higher Education Advisor involves helping students with their application to university or post A-Level studies. This includes advice on selecting the right course, help with perfecting personal statements and preparing for interviews and pre-admissions tests. I also provide information on open days and taster sessions to ensure that students are able to make an informed decision about their future. I am the point of contact for those interested in exploring global university pathways, and for those ready to move a global application forward we provide further 1:1 expertise.

My role is to manage and facilitate the AIP pathways – those which require entrance assessments and/or interviews, such as Law, Medicine, all Oxbridge courses and some Engineering/Economics courses. Initially, in Lower Sixth, I collect expressions of interest in any of these courses and then I facilitate the allocation of suitable subject mentors to guide students through the application process, running mock admissions tests for those who require them at the end of Lower Sixth. In Upper Sixth, I support these candidates in finalising their applications (usually for the early October deadline) and in preparation for any interviews throughout November and December.
