I am applying to a grammar school sixth-form. I have the grades but they want a page long personal statement in an academic style and i’m not really sure what they mean. They want to know about hobbies, interests, special responsibility’s and clubs,interest in school/subjects so i was going to write about:
-Interest in cooking
-water sports
-adventure holidays
-interest in traveling
-being gifted and talented
-and the subjects i am taking
any tips or ideas welcome.
-being a prefect
