I am incredibly proud to have been awarded a Music Scholarship and also a life changing Bursary Award. This was a dream come true as I never expected to receive such an amazing award that really has changed my life.
This bursary award enables me to be educated academically as equally as any of the other students at Bradfield and has also given me the opportunity to take part in an outstanding amount of co-curricular activities especially singing, playing the piano and being a member of the many instrumental bands which I love.
Music is my passion and I have the most brilliant music teachers who all want to get the best out of me.
I have also gained great confidence in singing on stage and in the music theatre in front of many parents. I am also involved in the Combined Cadet Force which has taught me team work, responsibility and to also have fun on the various training camps. Being able to play football, cricket and hockey has also built the focus in me to be the best I can be and to give back to others whether on the field or on the stage.
The bursary has given me the amazing opportunity to be part of a large community with great mentors whom support me greatly. Initially, before I came to Bradfield, I was nervous thinking everyone would know that I received this bursary award but once I settled in to school life, I felt part of a great big family which is nurturing and is a huge part of my life now, so there was no need to have worried in the first place.
Everyone is equal and no one judges you which is great even if you need extra help with anything.
I have made many amazing friends which I know will last a lifetime. As well as the day to day routine I get to be myself and enjoy interacting with other pupils in different years which has enabled me to look up to them, to see how confident and hardworking they are and it has made me the confident, hard working person that I am today.
I cannot express how fortunate and grateful I am. Being a bursary candidate doesn’t mean I am different, it just means that I am just as good as the next person and cannot thank Bradfield enough for believing in me.
Bradfield is the BEST !!!!
