Joel Robertson

Joel is currently taking a Gap Year and will be spending part of the time in South America undertaking voluntary work through the Christian organisation, Latin Link; no doubt, he will use this opportunity to develop his knowledge of Spanish since he has a keen appetite for languages which has led to his decision to study Japanese at Edinburgh University on his return. Academically talented, he is not only a gifted linguist but achieved top grades in a broad range of subjects at GCSE (4 A*, 4 A and 1 B) and then gained A grades in A level Biology, English Literature and French as well as a grade B in Latin. As Head Prefect, Joel played a very prominent role in the life of the school, managing and motivating the Sixth Form Prefect Team. He relishes challenge, achieving Black Belt in Taekwondo, completing The Duke of Edinburgh Gold Award and teaching guitar, having reached Grade 8 standard in this instrument.
