Case Study: Year 12 Girl

Ellis Milligan is in Year 12 having joined BMS in Year 9. 

"I was inspired by one of the BMS Drama productions and thought how much I would like to be in one.  The Sports facilities were also excellent and I liked the general School ethos", said Ellis.

Ellis particularly enjoys the tight-knit community in the Sixth Form together with the strong bonds between students and teachers. "Life in the Sixth Form is friendly but hard work and students are pushed that extra mile. The Computers, School Library and Science facilities are excellent".

Year 12 sees many changes from Year 11 and Ellis believes there is a clear step up in the work level to prepare for AS examinations.  "Students are given more responsibility and more trust in Year 12.  I also think that Sixth Form students set an example as they are looked up to by younger members of the School", added Ellis.

With 10 GCSEs, Ellis is now studying Biology, Chemistry, Art and Theatre Studies A Levels.  "I plan on studying Forensic Science at Warwick University with a view to becoming a Forensic Scientist in the Police Force", said Ellis.

In her spare time, Ellis enjoys playing the piano, singing, dancing and taking part in drama productions.  She is also a member of the School's Hockey team.

Describing life in the Sixth Form as exciting, tight-knit and hardworking, Ellis has the following advice to prospective students, "Take advantage of the facilities and do not waste the great opportunities that BMS has to offer".
