MORETON HALL

I remember driving up to school for the first time when I joined the Sixth form from Nigeria, thinking “How in the world did I manage to end up here?

What I never expected, however, was that this rural Shropshire school would become my whole world. In my first year here, not only did I make friends for life but I was provided with boundless academic opportunities and fantastic pastoral care from my teachers and house mistresses.

Some of my favourite activities thus far include the Rylands Diploma and Moreton Enterprises. The Rylands Diploma has provided me with practical skills like “Managing your Finances Post-School” and “Self defence”, while Moreton Enterprises has offered me priceless insight into the world of business.

Additionally, I wouldn’t have settled in so easily without the societies and extracurriculars that offer exciting platforms to get to know people from all around the school. From the Jenner Society, which supports aspiring medics; to Magna Carta, which examines current events and politics; to endless opportunities for physical activity like tennis and even kayaking. I have never had more options when it comes to extracurricular activities.

All these enrichment opportunities are preparing me for the demanding life after school and have equipped me with the skills I need for my role in Upper Sixth as Deputy Head Girl.
