Twins Artemis and Arteen picked up their outstanding A level results last week and spoke to us about how Brampton has supported them over the past two years. Here are their emotional tributes to the College.
Artemis achieved A*A*A and A* in EPQ and off to study Medicine at the University of Oxford.
“Brampton has made this dream possible. As soon as I came to visit the College, I met John (Principal) and was immediately struck by how everyone was so supportive. I really don’t think this dream of mine would have been possible without this support. Everything about this school is amazing!
From an academic point of view, the content of Biology and Chemistry is hard, as are the questions, but the content that the teachers delivered was absolutely impeccable, as was the teaching of exam technique. In terms of my medical application, my teachers were always there to support me and I really needed that during this time. Without this, I would never have been able to push myself or even think about applying to Oxford or even Medicine.
I’m a completely different person than I was two years ago and I have Brampton and its community to thank for that. Brampton believed in me, the teachers believed in me and so I believed in me. I want to hug everyone single one of them, they’re all amazing. 110% come to Brampton – do not have a single doubt! From the very beginning something about Brampton just spoke to me, it’s just very special.”
Arteen achieved an A*A*A* and has achieved a place at Queen Mary University of London to study Medicine.
“One of the reasons I came to Brampton was because I’d heard that it had excellent resources for medical applications, dedicated teachers and teams to really help boost the application. I was also drawn by the smaller classrooms and the familial feel of the college. The personal support here has been on another level. Whenever you need anything, teachers will make time for you, no matter what.
The teachers here really love what they do and you can see their real passion for their subjects. They’re all very experienced so know exactly how to help. In terms of my medical application, there were regular medical forums to broaden knowledge and a lot of resources and guidance around the application. Teachers always made time for me to practise my interview technique and past medical students were also brought in to help us prepare and provide more information about what to expect. Brampton really provided me with the very best support I could possibly receive and knowing that was behind me gave me the confidence I needed.
Brampton showed me how education could be enjoyable and that joy for learning has really been nurtured here. I can’t thank my teachers enough, I can’t put it into words. They’ve been there for me academically and non-academically. Even the little things, like pulling me aside and asking ‘How are you, Arteen?’ made me feel so valued as a person and really built me. Please keep doing the great work you’re doing, you’re changing lives. Thank you so much.”
