Our Stories

“St George’s is a school that always fights your corner. And they’ve helped me tremendously with my dyslexia. Most of all, my teachers in learning support have enabled me to realise that I can achieve what I want and to stop doubting myself – quite a common trait among those with learning disorders. Among those achievements has been the Gold Duke of Edinburgh Award. Our expedition – despite the many challenges faced – the biggest one being the weather – was a wonderful experience which I learned so much from and we made lifelong memories together. Other highlights include running both the Dungeons and Dragons club and the debating club, and setting up the buddy system which helps all girls feel a part of the community. After completing my undergraduate degree Comic and Concept Art at Leeds Arts University, I hope to work as a concept artist and visual developer for television and film – it’s a competitive field but I’m determined to fulfil my ambitions.”
