Thanks. Wondered what work experience or additional activities your son did that would help for personal statement? My youngest son is currently Yr 12. Thanks

My son did his bronze, silver and gold award by the end of Y12 and that involved volunteering in a variety of places including football camps and at his local primary school, expeditions, physical fitness and a residential. All these were good to put on his personal statement.

Hi there
My son has Birmingham as his firm offer (Mechanical engineering) and we are deciding on Self catered accommodation preferably on the Vale.
Does your daughter have any pics of Aitken as there's nothing on the website and do you know if it's a small double or single bed ?
He'd rather have an ensuite but would chose a small double bed with a shared bathroom (like Aitken) in his order selection over a single bed (tennis courts) if need be as he's over 6ft.
I know the accommodation selection is a bit of a lottery anyway!
TIA
