It only seems like a couple of days ago I started at Bevin and now I am getting ready to sit my GCSEs . I have already sat RE and some Science modules . Probably my favourite subject is Maths but I am also doing Art GCSE in my own time . I have just been made a prefect which was a big surprise : most prefects are very serious !
I play rugby 3-4 times a week for the school and Rosslyn Park . I am in the Harlequins U16 elite player development group and have been attending the England player development sessions . I can ’ t wait for next season as I am hoping to get into the London and SE squad : I want to beat Middlesex as they beat us [ Surrey ] by one point last year . I also throw the discus and came second in the London U17s final . I want to throw 50m and make it to the nationals again [ he represented London in 2012 ]. My ambition is to be a rugby player who throws the discus .
I wish I could do my whole five years at Bevin again – I could have done so much more .

I came from Fircroft School with lots of friends but it has been great to meet new people , and fantastic having the same tutor and tutor group for five years . It has led to a family-like relationship : I see myself as part of the Yellow Tie family .
The teachers really understand and push you to the max . I am planning to stay here for A Levels in Physics , Economics , Maths and Chemistry ; then to go to university and a career in finance , trading or stock management .
I used to play a lot of table tennis and was 28th in the country , taking part in tournaments across Europe ; but I started playing cricket and am now hoping to get into one of the Surrey teams . I play the Tabla and Dhol ( Indian drums ) and have performed in Trafalgar Square and at Year 11 graduation . I also won the Jack Petchey award for Outstanding Achievement .
If I had advice for new Yellow Ties it would be to enjoy yourself and take it slowly at the beginning and make sure you take advantage of all the opportunities at Bevin .
