Ella - English Literature, Religious Studies, Psychology- A*AB A Level student, Ella Magee completed a psychological research project on autism. My Personal Achievements “My favourite thing is the small site. It means that I am friendly with all the cohort and the quality of teaching is great as the teachers are able to dedicate themselves fully to only Sixth Form students. I haven’t always taken school in my stride, so being in full time education at CTK, enjoying it and thriving academically is what I have come to be most proud of in my academic journey. All of my teachers know me well, I feel comfortable with them all and the relationship I have built with them all has meant that I am able to lean on them for academic and pastoral support. I would recommend CTK to anyone looking for options after Year 11. The staff are so dedicated and passionate about the subjects and their students that it is impossible to not want to aim high and achieve. My favourite thing about being a CTK student is the fact that I have realised my full potential. I am a co-researcher on a psychological project about autism, which I’m extremely proud of. I have ASD, and so Additional Learning Support Team has been a great support to me, as have my teachers who took time to understand me as an individual and how my brain works. My next steps I will be going to Warwick university to study philosophy with psychology. I am unsure about my future career goals but am really enjoying learning so I hope to do a masters after my undergrad. In the future, I want to use what I learn to help others in some way.” Autism is a lifelong neurodevelopmental difference, with every autistic person having unique strengths, interests and experiences.
