THE DOLPHIN THE PREFECTS
What King's Has Meant to Our Prefects Constance Pollard My time at King's has meant a lot to me. Having been a part of the School since 3rd Form, I really feel that I have developed a sense of community through classes, Houses, and activities unparalleled anywhere else. I highly value the friends, experiences, and memories I have gained from my years here, and I am very sad to be leaving it behind as we near the end of Upper 6th Form. Despite this, I am still thoroughly looking forward to working as a gap student at Sherborne Prep next academic year, and I believe King's has prepared me well for this position, by emphasising the importance of responsibility and individuality. After that, I hope to be studying Natural Sciences at Durham, where I plan on getting stuck into as many events and activities as I have been encouraged to at King's, whilst fully engaging academically in my course. I will miss King's greatly, and will always be thankful for the time I have spent here. Thank you. Ella Docherty King's has meant an enormous amount to me as a place that holds such a strong sense of community, and a place of laughter and kindness where everyone looks out for one another, sharing the joys of one another’s achievements. King's will always be a place I look back on with deep fondness, for the people I have met here and the times spent together over the past five years. I am now planning to take a gap year during which I hope to travel and then go off to university. King's has given me the confidence to stand up for what I believe is right, and to strive towards my goals with integrity and a good sense of humour.

Freddie Goggs Having been at King's for 5 years I’ve had lots of good times and made great friends. All aspects of King's, from classroom to sports pitches, have been memorable and have helped to prepare me for any challenges in the future. I’m looking forward to the next adventure of taking a gap year, and hopefully studying astrophysics at York. I’ll miss life at King's and hope to visit soon! Tom Jones King's has been very important in teaching me valuable life lessons due to the various friendships formed during my time. This has helped me grow as a person, so therefore, I will always be grateful of my time at King's and have fond memories of the 5 years I have spent here. I hope I am going on to study Psychology at Cardiff University, which I know King's has prepared me well for.

At the beginning of my time at King’s, I had no idea how much it would positively impact my life. The 5 years I have spent here have brought many amazing memories and friendships that I will cherish forever. King's has enabled me to enter in to so many different activities which have contributed to the great memories I will take with me when I leave. I am now going on a gap year, where I will work for the first few months, and then hopefully be able to travel from January onwards. King's has helped build my confidence and equipped me with the skills to move forward into the next stages of my life.

King's has been a fantastic place over the last five years, in which I have learnt and developed. Having initially been timid in the 3rd Form, I have grown to be much more comfortable and outgoing over the past 5 years. Now I am going on to study a degree in Mathematics at Exeter University next year. During Sixth Form, I was undecided on what I wanted to study at university, Mathematics or Architecture. During this time of indecision, however, I was offered great chances by the School to develop my understandings of what life at university would be like studying either of these two degrees and how careers could open up from there on. I settled on Mathematics after growing a keen interest in it while studying Further Mathematics at A-Level.

King's has definitely been the most life changing experience for me; I’ve grown up so much here and had so much fun. My time at King's has shaped me into the person I am today, and I’ve learned so many important lessons as well as made friends that I will keep for life. The 5 years I have spent here have been amazing and made me ready to take on the world! I’ve laughed and cried and everything in between in the past 5 years, and I wouldn’t change a second of it. King's means a huge amount to me, and I hope that every pupil gets to experience the caring and fun community that is King's!
