Q&A
MEET ABBY
We spoke with Abby, a former KPS boarding student who was part of the Class of 2024.
What was your favourite subject?
I liked Maths the best. When I was young, I was in a mathematically gifted class, and I took that interest with me onto the A level programme, where I have participated in math challenges and even won a gold certificate.
How did you find living in the boarding house?
It was really great! I had a cosy room where I could relax after school and recharge for the next day. Most of the students staying in the boarding house are international students, and we spent a lot of time with each other, doing activities or eating meals together. The staff arranged timetables for us to follow, which helped me to balance how much time I should spend studying and relaxing, and made me complete tasks more efficiently. At first, I found it hard communicating with others, but I had to overcome this. That’s what I learned from my time in boarding. Before, if I had any problems, I would just ask my parents for help, but now, I am more confident making my own decisions.
How has your academic scholarship supported you?
I am really thankful to have been a scholarship student. It supported me to not only pursue my academic goals, but also to contribute more, and to be a better student. It pushed me to work harder.
What makes KPS Sixth Form unique?
The location. It is in central London which makes travelling convenient. I like that there are separate buildings for Sixth Form and Senior School students. While traveling between sites, I could chat with my friends and enjoy the local cafes and park.
