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?
