π€© BUILDING A FUTURE π€©
Here is what Lydia Smith former Market Weighton School student had to say about her time at Wyke,
"My favourite part of studying Geography at Wyke was exploring real-world places and events through case studies. During my time at college, I completed the Carbon Literacy Certificate, developing my understanding of climate change alongside valuable teamwork and problem-solving skills. I also completed an EPQ, strengthening my research and independent study abilities, and took part in the Year 1 podcast group, which improved my confidence in debating and discussing wider issues.
As a member of the Wyke 2nd Netball Team for two years, I developed strong teamwork and communication skills. One of my proudest achievements was helping the team reach its furthest-ever stage in the cup competition.
I am progressing to study Architecture at Loughborough University, and Geography has provided an excellent foundation through its focus on sustainability, climate, and the relationship between people and the environment.
My advice to future students is to get involved in as many enrichment opportunities as possible to build confidence, teamwork, and communication skills."
