LEH Foshan is thrilled to share the fantastic news from one of our most determined Year 13 students, Imogen, who is celebrating an exciting moment in her academic journey. She has secured impressive offers from prestigious institutions, including the University of Edinburgh, University of Exeter, the University of Liverpool (Suzhou), the University of Nottingham (Ningbo), and Keele University. The programmes she applied for span over Business Studies, to Interdisciplinary Futures, and Sustainability & Conservation, reflecting her diverse interests and commitment to making a positive impact. Each offer is a testament to her hard work, and the excitement in her voice tells us just how special this moment is for her.
Imogen shares her enthusiasm: “I was very excited to receive my offer from Nottingham Ningbo as it arrived so quickly. I have recently been made an offer with the University of Exeter, and it is the one I am most excited about as the focus is on conservation and the protection of the planet.”
Recently, we had the pleasure of sitting down with Imogen to delve into her inspiring learning journey. Through her story, we hope to share insights that motivate and encourage others to pursue their passions.
Imogen’s academic choices have been thoughtfully aligned with her strengths and interests, as clearly reflected in her university offers. She is studying Geography because she has always been fascinated by the natural world; Business, inspired by many passionate discussions with her Father—a dedicated Business teacher; and English Literature, following the insightful advice of Mrs Arden. “I discovered I am passionate about stories and storytelling,” she explains, revealing the creative side that perfectly complements her analytical strengths. This balanced mix of subjects not only enriches her perspective but also paves the way for her interdisciplinary ambitions.
Her journey, however, hasn’t been without its challenges. Transitioning from IGCSE to the rigours of A Level work demanded an elevated level of organisation and self-motivation, pushing her to new limits. Even setting up her UCAS profile turned out to be more complex than anticipated. “The Sixth Form team set aside an afternoon for us to create our UCAS profiles, and it was really useful,” she recalls one of the many invaluable supports from her teachers that helped her navigate these challenges.
It has been a privilege to watch Imogen grow and navigate her journey through Sixth Form. Despite being naturally shy, she has shown remarkable resilience and determination, especially in the face of the multiple changes she made in her subjects and destination choices. I am incredibly proud of Imogen for her tenacity and adaptability. Her journey is a testament to the strength and support of the school community, and we look forward to seeing her continue to thrive in her chosen field.
Imogen’s time at LEH Foshan has been a transformative experience, one where academic rigour meets personal growth. Beyond the classroom, she has taken on ‘jobs’ within the English and Business departments—supporting peers with lower levels of English reading. This role has allowed her to nurture leadership qualities and demonstrate a commitment to community.
Perhaps the most cherished aspect of her school life has been the friendships she’s formed. “Making great friends who I will hopefully remain friends with for many years to come is my favourite memory so far,” Imogen reflects. These relationships, alongside the guidance of dedicated teachers and tutors, have been instrumental in shaping her confident outlook as she prepares for university and beyond.
Imogen’s university choices reflect a deliberate balance between academic excellence and family values. With options available in both the UK and China, she is excited by the opportunity to remain close to family—a factor that influenced her decision to apply to campuses like the University of Liverpool (Suzhou) and the University of Nottingham (Ningbo).
We are delighted that she has found a university in China that is closely affiliated with its UK counterpart, allowing her to pursue her dreams while staying connected to home. This opportunity reflects the recognition of China's significant role in the global education market and presents an exciting path forward for her.
To younger students just starting their A Level journey, Imogen offers a heartfelt piece of advice: “It feels like a lot at first, but don’t worry because there is a great support team ready to assist you.” She emphasises that feeling overwhelmed initially is completely normal, and reassures everyone that the dedicated support team at LEH Foshan is always on hand to provide guidance, encouragement, and practical help, ensuring that every challenge becomes an opportunity to learn and grow.
Imogen’s journey stands as a powerful testament to the supportive and enriching environment at LEH Foshan, where students are empowered to excel academically, cultivate leadership skills, and grow both personally and professionally.
We wish Imogen and all our Sixth Formers every success as they continue their journeys toward bright and promising futures. Stay tuned for more inspiring stories as our students continue to achieve remarkable milestones!
