      Wow, that was a long time ago Izona!

      GCSE’s – English Language, English Lit, Maths, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, PE, Design Technology, History, French, German.

      Ridiculously, French was my only A*, and I can hardly remember any of it! We had an amazing teacher, Mrs Balkham, who helped me go from the lowest ability set to getting an A*, I owe most of it to her!

      A Levels – I started with General Studies, Maths, Physics, Biology and Design Technology. I dropped Maths pretty quickly, and Design Technology once I had an AS. I got 2 B’s in Bio and Physics, but they sparked a lifelong interest in them, which is why I’m a Scientist!

      For GCSE I took all the compulsory modules, and then chose Geography, French and Triple Science!
      .
      For A-Level I did Maths, Physics, Chemistry and Polish (you’d think that’s cheating but it was my hardest exam!) and I did AS Geography and Further Maths.
