I’m Fizza, a previous year’s Head Prefect. For my A Levels I studied Spanish, English Literature and French, as well as Classical Civilisation in Year 12. I am going to study English at Oxford University in September. I thoroughly enjoyed being part of Sixth Form, and especially the Head Prefect Team. Finally joining what had always felt like an elite cohort, and being able to help and interact with younger years in a way I’d always looked up to my friends in Sixth Form for doing was both exciting and slightly strange, to think I’d already reached something that had felt so distant for so long!

Though many of the clubs I took part in were focused on Sixth Form, such as French Debating, English Extension or LAMDA, performing in ‘The Sound of Music’, the whole school production, was certainly one of my favourite school activities. There was such a unique camaraderie and precious bond between the cast members, crew and orchestra, and it was a real pleasure to make friends with younger students and then see them around school – I’d even say we built our own little community within the school community!

My name is Amber and I’d like to be a doctor. I studied Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics and Spanish at A-Level and I am going to study Medicine at the University of Cambridge. I loved my Sixth Form experience! I made many new friends and enjoyed taking part in all the senior sport and music opportunities.

As part of the Head Prefect team, I had the opportunity to interact with the whole school. I got to know so many students through assemblies and Head Prefect Team breakfasts and really enjoyed reflecting on my HBS experience whilst working on the HBSpeaks podcast. I loved organising events about topics I’m passionate about, most notably hosting the Women of Colour Success Stories event which was a very special moment for me.

I’m Kamsi. For my A Levels I studied Economics, Mathematics and Spanish and am going to study Accounting and Finance at the University of Warwick. I enjoyed the freedom that came with being in the Sixth Form and very much appreciated how the staff treated us like adults and gave us a lot of independence when it came to our learning, whilst still being there to support us through a particularly tumultuous time, especially with Covid. When I was in the Sixth Form, I ran Christian Society and was a part of the Economics Student Leadership as well as being one of the Head Prefects. During my time at HBS I was particularly active in sports, especially before COVID, where I had the opportunity to be the school’s basketball captain for three years. As well as this, I engaged in the Rock School programme, where a few friends and I formed a band and performed at the school showcase and Year 9 Summer Fair. I enjoyed my time enormously at HBS!

My name is Sanjana and I took Maths, Further Maths, Physics and Economics at A-Level; I am going to study Economics at The London School of Economics and Political Science. Sixth Form has been the most enriching two years during my time at HBS. It combined the excitement of next steps and new leadership opportunities, with the comfort of friendships, beloved staff and studying subjects about which we are truly passionate.

Lower down in the school, I have fond memories of debating, partaking in school productions, bands nights and the adrenaline of the Robotics Club. I continued to make the most of the extra-curricular programme in the Sixth Form. I was an active member of the Badminton Club, as well as producing magazines and delivering talks for the Economics Society. My most enjoyable experiences were definitely leading the Mock Trial team and the opportunities that came with being a part of the Head Prefect Team. Working closely with the younger students, as well as with teachers and staff, was not only rewarding and fun – but also allowed me to give back to the school which has given me so much.
