“After attending NHP for two years, I went on to join City of London School in Year 9 and I am now at the University of Leicester studying Software Engineering. This is all thanks to the great opportunity I received to join NHP on a bursary from Year 7 and an education that has changed my life through opening so many doors for me…
..My time at NHP felt like a massive family that was always there to support me. Being at NHP was a very enjoyable and fun experience and having the chance to learn there really did open my eyes to a difference in teaching compared to my primary school. I always felt very welcome and everyone was always there to guide you or be your friend. Being on a bursary may seem as being disadvantaged, but the opportunities it gave me were a big advantage as I was able to access the many different resources available at NHP. Being on a bursary gave me the chance to learn more about technology in IT lessons, which led to me becoming very interested in computer science. I proceeded to continue my endeavours in this subject and now I am studying Software Engineering. The gradual exposure to new subjects such as Computer Science and IT from such a young age really carved my future career plans and I am now aiming to get a role in the tech industry once I finish university. It will be tough, but knowing where I have come from, I feel like I can do it.
Anything is possible if someone believes in you and I really felt that at NHP. To all future bursary students, I wish you good luck and have fun, NHP really is a wonderful community to be a part of.”
