On Headington
Headington is special to me for many reasons. Not only did I feel instantly welcome when I arrived, but all the teachers were so friendly and happy to help at any time. There is a real sense of community here even though we are such a big school! I look forward to coming into school everyday, excited to see my friends, teachers and to learn something new! The amount of resources that we have for the subject is unbelievable and we have such a wide range of cameras. In the future, I would like to work in the film industry, particularly doing cinematography. I hope to get an apprenticeship within the film industry to get some experience, after that I hope to go to the National Film and Television School in Beaconsfield.
