Alliah Castor 2016-2018
After College, I moved to London for my legal undergraduate degree
at City, University of London. I am currently in my final year and am
predicted to achieve a 2:1. Over the last summer, my work placements
had been cancelled due to Covid-19. Despite these unprecedented
circumstances, to continue enhancing my skill set, I focused on engaging
in various remote opportunities. Currently, I hold roles for various
legal initiatives, which all aim to foster collaborative and informative
communities for students. I am an ambassador for The Legal Amity,
International Legal League, and FirstGens. I have also completed multiple
remote work experiences with Bright Network and Squire Patton Boggs.
A notable achievement of mine is having been a speaker at the “Legal Education Experience Across
International Borders” event, for the Legal Torch Initiative. There, I answered questions regarding
my personal experiences with UK legal education and gave guidance to anyone interested in
international study in the UK. After graduation, I aim to do the LLM LPC and eventually qualify as a
solicitor at a city firm in either London or Birmingham.
Izrar Mumtaz 2015-2018
Since leaving College, I have gone on to read Law at the University of
Birmingham and am currently in my final year of study. Upon completion
I will progress onto my legal training and Masters in Corporate Law. I
undertook a vacation scheme in Spring 2019 up at a Top Magic Circle Law
Firm and have been fortunate enough to been offered a training contract
in London upon qualifying as a solicitor.
I accomplished my thesis on Capital Punishment which related very well
with my Extended Project (EPQ) at College. My interest in law arose when
studying Law, Business, Politics and EPQ where I came to realise the level
of career choices/paths you occupy once having completed the most prestigious degree and the
extent to which you interpret and apply law and provide legal advice to those who need it.
I have been active in various activities both in and out of university which include Aspiring Solicitors
and Rare Recruitment which help to boost your legal knowledge and experience. I was privileged to
have been recognised by Bright Network as a future Top 100 Lawyer in the UK and was invited to their
event where I liaised with trainee solicitors and partners of the top international firms.Celebrating Success 2021 21

Billy Heptinstall-Blakemore
Since leaving Worcester Sixth Form College with a Level 3
Extended Diploma & 90 Credit in Sports Science, I began to further
my knowledge in the subject at the University of Exeter. I studied
at UoE for a year, but with everything comes complications, and
after my first year, I decided the course wasn’t for me. Though with
my prior support from Worcester Sixth Form College after having
to retake my English GCSE three times, I was able to gain the
motivation to pick myself back up and hit the ground running.
After university I approached Parkwood Leisure where I am now
working full time in the Business Systems sector, the company focuses in the development
and management of leisure centres around the country in support of local councils. I am now
studying at the University College of Estate Management, studying for a Bsc in Chartered
Quantity Surveying. I have grown an interest in the subject of Quantity Surveying particularly
in the built environment since leaving University.
Hannah Baylis 2015-2017
A week after my last exam at College in June 2017, I started working
at Airband, an Internet Provider specialising in delivering to rural
communities. For the past 3 years I have progressed from Helpdesk
Assistant to a Support Desk Technician to now being a Network Analyst.
During my time at Airband so far, I have already completed one
apprenticeship. This was a Level 4 IT framework, equivalent to a
foundation degree. I have since been working towards my BSc
(Hons) from the University of Wolverhampton in partnership with my
apprenticeship training provider which I plan to complete in April 2022.
I am so grateful for my time in College as it helped me to grow into an independent adult, taking
responsibility for myself in a working environment, and it gave me the work ethic I needed to
succeed in the real world. My subjects did not directly link to how my job today as none were
IT focused but they helped me with the foundation skills of basic communication, logic and
knowledge retention which has helped me to become the “go-to” girl for a lot of things within my
team of Analysts, the Service Manager and Support Desk Technicians.22 Celebrating Success 2020

Beth Jones 2011-2013
I had wanted to study Medicine since the later years of secondary
school, but always assumed it would be out of my grasp. It wasn’t
until I got my GCSE results and started at Worcester Sixth Form
College that I actually thought it might be possible.
I started College in 2011 studying Maths, Chemistry, Biology, Law
and Critical Thinking AS Levels. Knowing how competitive medicine
was, I knew I was going to be kept very busy alongside my A Levels.
Worcester Sixth Form College offered a Medical Ethics Class and
Professional Programme, which was perfect for students like me
who would benefit from extra opportunities for their university application. They gave me an
insight into the ethical and professional side to medicine whilst developing my communication
skills which was much appreciated in my following interviews. Through the continued help and
support of the careers advisers in College, I was able to secure an offer at Cardiff Medical School.
Luckily my A Level results were a match too!
I have always been a keen Sportswomen, so fitting in Netball was very important to me, and was
a much-needed mid-week relax. The college was very flexible at allowing me to continue with my
busy college timetable but still providing me time to represent the College in the Netball team.
Over the years I have developed a keen interest in teaching and have helped set up a programme
encouraging students from comprehensive colleges to apply to Medicine. This is being
developed in numerous schools.
After 5 years at Cardiff Medical school, and 3 years working as a junior doctor in the NHS I am
now in the process of applying for specialist training. I take every opportunity to return to WSFC
to give talks and seminars on what life is likely working as a junior doctor in the NHS.Celebrating Success 2020 23

JJ Kealy 2014-2016
In July 2020 I graduated from the University of Sheffield with a First
Class Honours in BSc Economics with Employment Experience. I
obtained a degree average of 80.2% which I am extremely proud
about - as I have no A Level in Maths! Further to this my placement
year working at Lloyds Banking Group was incredibly valuable as
I learnt all the soft and hard skills required to go into professional
employment upon graduation. I highly recommend students who
go to university to apply for things like summer vacation schemes,
internships, and, placement years, as they ultimately provide the
foundations for you to be ahead of the game when you graduate.
Although COVID-19 prematurely ended my tenure as the Club Captain (President) of the Sheffield
University Mens Football Club, I was still so proud to have represented one of the biggest sport
societies at the University.
In February 2021 I started my graduate scheme with Deloitte working within the tax consulting
service live. It has been a strange start to life with Deloitte as I have had to adapt to working
remotely and experience the challenges that remote work presents, however, the skills I
have learnt and the people I have met has meant I have had the best possible start given the
circumstances. I have been able to work on a number of large clients across several sectors
such as banking, engineering, and pharmaceuticals, which has broadened my knowledge in
each industry! Obtaining a graduate scheme at the one of the Big 4 was an extremely proud
achievement and I would highly recommend students apply as they have a vast amount of
careers for graduates - it’s way more than just accounting!
As brighter days start to come up on the horizon, I look forward to taking my first steps in the
Deloitte office and meeting my colleagues face to face! I have thoroughly enjoyed my start and I
cannot wait to kick on and progress further!Worcester Sixth Form College, Spetchley Road, Worcester WR5 2LU Tel: 01905 362600 Web: wsfc.ac.uk Email: enquiries@wsfc.ac.uk
