Writing a Personal Statement

Use this assignment block to write and submit a Personal Statement for checking by Mr Webb.


When writing a Personal Statement think of the following key points: 

 

1.      Why? 

  • That Sixth Form (i.e. why Camp Hill?) – connect to its values, what it offers, both in the classroom and beyond. 
  • How does it connect to a longer-term plan, i.e. university and career? 
     

2.      Courses: 

  • What courses and why, possibly returning to the longer-term plans. 
  • Explore an aspect of your current study and how it prompted your (further) interest 
  • Have you done anything to support or prepare for these courses?  
     

3.      Who you are? 

  • Your interests – try and connect these to the courses, and again, longer-term plans. 
  • More generally, your interests – you are trying to show you are a well-rounded person. 
  • What could you contribute to the Sixth Form?
