Lyndsey Kincaid

Throughout my time in London, the city has really grown on me and I’ve come to imagine myself possibly living and working here. Not only do I love all that the city has to offer, but there’s so many things and places that are opened to explore. Now that my time in London is coming […]

Will

My time at Paddington Arts by Will Stanton, age 17 In year 12 my school gives us the opportunity to do work experience, this is because when it comes to university applications it looks very good.

In Duluth, we not only have the biggest lake […]

Jacob South-Klein Work Experience

I’m Jacob South-Klein, 16, from Reading. My school*, now that GCSEs are a thing of the not-quite-distant-enough past, suggested that I do a week’s work experience during the summer.
