Foxford School have been very supportive of me over the past five years. It's not just the teachers, but support staff and other students. I have made so many friends and I know that these are friendships that will last a lifetime. My favourite lesson is maths as it's always challenging, and my teacher is constantly pushing me. I love the problem-solving element as it makes me think outside of the box. I am now looking forward to continuing at Foxford in the 6th form.

I have always been interested in a career in Aerospace and so the subjects I chose to study at A Level were physics, maths and economics. Aerospace Engineering is the course I have applied for at university with the hope of becoming a professional pilot or engineer. My determination has stemmed from the lack of females in the sector and, together with the support of the Sixth Form Team, helped me realise my ambition and potential. Not only have I become much more confident in my subjects, but also in personal life.

When I first came to this school I was delighted because I met new people with different ethnicity and skin colour. In my opinion I think Foxford is a great school to come to if you want to have a new experience. On our first trip with Foxford to Bushcraft, I had a brilliant time and I communicated and worked together with people that I had never met before. The teachers are great and they support you massively with your studies. At Foxford you also get a special day when the Army come in and do brilliant activities and have lots of fun.

As I joined this school I was nervous but when I arrived everyone was so friendly and the staff made it easy for us to make new friends quickly. The learning is fun and engaging as the teachers use lots of activities. I particularly like PE because we have had the opportunity to try lots of new sports and get to work with each other. It is funlearning to be coaches.

Foxford does a great job at making sure everyone is involved in something they enjoy, there are many after school clubs and sport events organized by staff. Foxford encourages students to come into school regularly, with having at trophy awarded to the tutor group with the highest attendance.
Our school also takes pride in our Creative Arts department, with many plays and performances done by those interested in drama, dance and music. Our school shows its support for its diverse community by putting up pride flags on pride month and putting up poppies on Remembrance Day. We’ve got it all!

When I found out I was going to Foxford I was very excited because I already knew that it was a good school. The teachers are always very supportive and make the lessons very interesting. My favourite lesson is maths because it is very challenging but you know that there is always help available if you need it.

Joining Foxford Sixth Form in year 12 has been exciting! I am studying art, history and business. I have enjoyed more freedom with personal learning and some free periods allowing me to focus on specific topics. The smaller class sizes has meant I am able to communicate more with the teachers. The Enrichment days have been challenging but great fun as they were linked to exploring my future after Post 16. I believe that A-Levels and BTEC have been a huge step up compared to GCSEs in terms of workload, however it has definitely been worth it as I enjoy studying fewer subjects but in more depth.
Filip Nawiesniak
When I joined Foxford School, I was excited but at the same time nervous. As days went by, I made new friends, got to learn new subjects and now I wake up excited to be coming to school. I would recommend Foxford to anyone because everyone is welcome and we are all feel like a big family.

I was really pleased to get a place at Foxford. Although like most of my friends I was a little nervous about starting Secondary School, all the visits from the Head of Year to see us and work with us in Primary made it so much easier. I felt as though they cared before I had even put the uniform on. Since starting at Foxford everyone has been welcoming and I love being in school as there are so many smiley faces. Lessons are fun, teachers are helpful and I know that I am being challenged and pushed with my learning.

I was nervous about secondary school but over the past five years I have built strong, positive relationships with staff. Staff at Foxford School are so supportive but at the same time they develop your independence so that you are ready for the next chapter of your life. I have made so many friends at Foxford; friendships that will last a lifetime. My favourite subject is art as I can express my creative side. I am now looking forward to continuing at Foxford in the 6th form.
