George (OP 2013)

"PGS gave me some of the happiest and most exciting years of my life so far. As well as enjoying countless opportunities to indulge my love of music, I was l encouraged to throw myself into drama, journalism, hockey and even teaching French to 6-year-olds! It was a particular privilege to serve as Head Boy in my final year, with its unique combination of challenges and rewards.

It goes without saying that PGS offers a top-tier education and excellent preparation for public examinations and university. I remember having such fun learning from inspiring teachers of English, History and French (amongst others!); however, I was most captivated by science. This led me to medical school and now a clinical-academic career that lets me marry my interests in clinical psychiatry and neuroscience research. I’m currently based at UCL, where I am preparing a clinical PhD application, having recently completed a year-long research fellowship at King’s and Imperial. 

I am sure that none of this would have happened if I had not attended PGS for five great years. I will always be grateful to those who support bursaries at PGS, without which I would not have been able to attend this remarkable school."
