I've always loved writing. Taking part in the creative writing enrichment activity was the first opportunity I had to explore this passion in an academic setting. It provided a break from my A level studies, while also being something I enjoyed.

Societies are great ways to meet people: even if you don’t know much, you can go just along.

The Student Council

Every Year 12 student can stand for election to join the Student Council. The Council is a group of 10 elected students who work as a team to improve the College community and represent students to Hills Road’s management and outside observers. This is a great role if you are passionate about your sixth-form experience and would like to contribute to the decisions being made by the College.
