He is now looking forward to continuing his journey with us by joining the UTC Sheffield Olympic Legacy Park Sixth Form.
Talking about his choice to stay on at UTC, Alistair explained:
“It stood against other schools. I feel like teachers here really want you to learn.”
Alistair has developed a strong interest in science, particularly physics, inspired by the support of his teachers:
“Mr Shaw is fantastic and really helped develop my interest in science, especially physics. Mr Langman also helped to build my enthusiasm for maths.”
Looking ahead, Alistair aspires to work in a space-related start-up company and hopes to keep developing his research skills. His advice to younger students thinking about joining UTC OLP is:
“Be resilient because it’s worth the effort. You’ll get better learning.”
