Our Sixth Form students had the opportunity to hear directly from representatives of the Home Office about the diverse careers available within this vital government department.

From specialist roles in national security and immigration to frontline positions supporting communities, the sessions offered valuable insights into the skills and pathways needed for future success. Students asked thoughtful questions and gained a clearer understanding of how transferable skills such as communication, resilience and teamwork are essential for any career.

A huge thank you to the Home Office team for inspiring our Quest6 students as they begin shaping their futures!

Very best of luck for the future, Chima!

Congratulations to Chima Aroh who achieved an astonishing four 9s, six 8s, and a 7 in her GCSEs.

Chima has recently moved to Derby where she will continue her studies. She said, “I’ve always been a hard worker and a high achiever but I really want to thank all my teachers at Quest. They helped me a lot and gave me a lot of support. When I first joined in Year 10, I was doing alright – 6s and 7s but they helped me from that to 8s and 9s. They teach really well and are really good teachers. The teachers provided me with everything I needed, especially English and Maths, but really every single subject.”

Very best of luck for the future, Chima!

Well done, Maisey!

Aspiring pilot or astronomer (she's still deciding), Maisey Everett, is going on to study A levels in Physics, Maths, Further Maths and Economics having achieved four 9s, three 8s and three 7s.

She said, “I’ve definitely enjoyed the people here. If you sometimes feel off, the people around you would comfort you and it would turn better. I’d sometimes do intervention with my teachers and in class they’d help me if need be. My advice to younger students would be to really start reviewing content in Year 10. I started making flashcards in year 10 and going through them in year 11 so by the time you’re in year 11, you’re just reviewing content.”

Well done, Maisey! Reach for the stars.
