Alongside my studies, I enjoy cooking, especially baking. I love trying new recipes out on my family and friends. They always enjoy eating whatever I have made for them.
Khadija was part of the second cohort of students on the school’s prestigious colleges programme, applying to selective schools. She was successfully awarded a place at Fulham School on a full bursary worth £50,000.
Cemre enrolled on the prestigious college programme and successfully was awarded a full scholarship to study A-levels at Ashbourne College worth £10,000 a term.
Amelia began her first year at FGCS during a pandemic. Being in a new school and trying to figure out new rules during such an usual time was ‘weird’, but she praises the teachers around her for supporting her.
An active member in her school, Lavinia takes part in Student Council, Politeness Ambassadors, Anti-Bullying Club and multisports when she’s not studying.
Preparing for GCSEs is never easy, but Zakaria knows he has his teachers behind him: ‘As a year 11 student, I am very supported by my teachers who work really hard to help me with my exams.’

Check out how our teacher challenges her students: “this is a tricky question… we read it before we analysed the text.” She makes explicit links to prior learning. Students are thinking hard - the best indicator for learning. pic.twitter.com/svrjdFQ3lj

You’ve done a fantastic job introducing DPR—it’s a real game changer! It’s helped our @CST_London (Community Schools Trust) raise standards rapidly. Wishing you and the school community all the best! Have you introduced the DPR parents app to parents yet?

At the @CST_London, we use an instructional coaching model, offering live-coaching to support colleagues. Our focus has shifted from pedagogy & teacher behaviour to curriculum delivery. Listen to @PepsMccrea & @DrSamSims discuss its importance.https://t.co/YDOz4cHGFe
