Next steps: BArch Architecture at Nottingham Trent University

Freya’s personal and academic growth since joining Thames in Year 7 was nothing short of remarkable. From nervous first steps she blossomed at A Level into a confident young adult with skills that seemed, to her, out of reach even in Year 11.

A wisely chosen combination of A Levels developed her design skills, with the coursework emphasis releasing capacity to patiently and persistently build the analysis and writing skills for English Literature exams. Unconditional offers from Kingston University and Nottingham Trent illustrated the benefits of this approach, which stems from the school’s knowledge of students’ individual interests and strengths.
