UKGUARDIANSHIP Bahri has been in the UKG guardianship programme since Year 9 and it’s been wonderful to see his academic and personal growth over the past 3 years. When Bahri arrived in the UK, it was his first time living away from home. Through weekly phone calls and regular contact, we noticed his maturity and drive; he now has clear future goals and is working hard to achieve them. Bahri has had a unique journey in the UK. He is a talented footballer and joined a football academy where the main focus was training, rather than academic studies. However, we soon spotted Bahri’s academic potential and did everything we could to guide and support him to develop his abilities. Bahri is intelligent and capable, and it helped that he is a very conscientious student. Bahri worked extremely hard over the past 2 years and with help from our educational advisors and regular tutoring sessions with our subject specialists, he obtained excellent GCSE grades including grade 9s for maths and sciences and an A for additional maths. He also won the Principal’s Prize for Community Engagement and the Key Stage 4 Maths prize for high performance. Bahri was also a top player in his previous school’s football team. They were a strong team who won the ESFA (English Schools’ Football Association) Under 16 Schools’ Cup earlier this year, achieving a massive 5-0 victory! We are incredibly proud of everything Bahri has achieved and we can’t wait to see what the future holds for this talented young man. Bahri’s career goals are to study veterinary medicine or ecology at university, as well as being a professional footballer! We are looking forward to helping him through his A-levels, while continuing to work with his 2 younger brothers. With his dedication and 100% effort he puts into everything he does, we are sure Bahri will reach his goals! “I am grateful for the love that UKG has shown my child. They celebrate every step of his journey, and I am truly thankful. UKG has been an indispensable mentor in his growth and feels more like family.” BAHRI’S MUM
