From Highcliffe to Aberdeen | Highcliffe School

From Highcliffe to Aberdeen

I started Highcliffe School as a terrified Year 7 in 2004. Having just moved from London, I knew no-one; the first walk through the Covered Way amongst a sea of purple seemed so daunting, however I was made to feel safe, happy and secure throughout my school years.
During my GCSEs I particularly enjoyed my separate science classes, which led me to select the A level subjects of Biology, Chemistry and Physics. After encouragement from the Sixth Form, I took and passed a scholarship entrance exam to Aberystwyth University where I studied Zoology BSc (Hons).

During my time at Aberystwyth, I worked with research staff in animal behaviour, parasitology and immunology; my dissertation looked at the prevalence of zoonotic viruses in rodents around the UK.

Upon my graduation from Aberystwyth in July 2014, I was offered a Studentship to University of Aberdeen, where I am currently working towards a Zoology Ph.D with a focus on fish immunology.
 
I am wholeheartedly convinced that none of this could have been made possible without the dedicated, warm and inspiring staff present during my time at this school. Highcliffe is an extremely special place to grow up; I shall carry it with my wherever I go.
