At Epping St Johns we are keen to promote the achievements of our alumni and show current and prospective students the diverse range of career paths our past students have followed. The high achievements of past pupils across such a wide selection of careers, we believe, reflects the well-rounded education on offer and demonstrates how we help to develop each pupil’s individual talents and strengths
All our students are inspired by the success of our alumni, so share your experiences of College, University or your career path with them. This can be done by adding to our alumni career profile, or why not become a volunteer ambassador, taking part in our inspirational talks or careers events

Why become a volunteer ambassador.
• Enrich and support student experiences by being a resource for them to use
• Help give advice and support to students
• Give something back to the next generation.
• Attend talks and promote university life or a particular career to students
• It looks great on a CV!

I attended St John's School from 2007-2012 and thoroughly enjoyed my time there and as a result left with 8 A*'s and 3 A's at GCSE which allowed me to study A-Levels at The Bishop's Stortford High School Sixth Form(2012-2014), which I first learned about at a post 16 event at St John's. After being encouraged to get involved in the school community at St John's I continued with this ethos at Sixth Form where went on to become Head Girl, Vice-President of the Interact charity group, Yearbook editor and started the Economics Society. For AS I studied Economics, History, Government and Politics, and English Language and got 4 A's, and I then continued with Economics, Government and Politics, and English Language for A-Level and am predicted A*A*A, so St John's definitely put me in good stead for the future! 

 

Last year I applied to Oxford University, the University of Leicester, Warwick University, Surrey University and Kent University and gained offers from all but Oxford. I got an unconditional offer from Leicester and absolutely loved it there so I shall be attending in September this year (2014) to study Law. I loved the atmosphere and how great the Law school was at Leicester as well as their impressive achievements as a University, so getting an unconditional offer (meaning I was accepted regardless of what grades I get) from my favourite choice was great! I have wanted to study Law pretty much since I started St John's and it seems almost surreal that this will soon become a reality. This passion began at St Johns whilst being Head Girl, a school council representative for 5 years, Epping Forest Youth Council representative, and participating in English speaking and listening assessments where voicing my opinions and debating was something I adored, and as a result I now hope to go on to complete the Bar training course and qualify as a barrister in the future. I am very interested in specialising in modules like medical law, family law, human rights law and competition policy- all which should be great to study and result in me being able to help other people as a career! I hope to start my own Law firm or go on to become a partner at one, one day- but that's a long way off yet! I know that I will have to work exceedingly hard to achieve these ambitions, but the work ethic I gained from my time at St John's and the accolades as well will hopefully allow me to fulfil these dreams!

 

I had a really amazing time at St John's, and I really miss it; I was presented with so many brilliant opportunities which have prepared me so well for the future! :)
