The entire community of staff and students is incredibly supportive. My teachers adapted their approach to suit my individual learning style, which has made me so much more confident in my ability and allowed me to develop, academically and personally, beyond what I thought was possible in the two years I鈥檝e been a student at Xaverian.

Commenting on her Xaverian journey, she said: 鈥淚鈥檝e learnt so much at Xaverian, and most importantly that, if I work hard, I will achieve great things. My teachers were amazing and I鈥檝e made lots of great friends. Being able to complete two work placements has been my highlight. I went to a nursery and a primary school, where my roles were always focused on supporting young people, and I had the opportunity to learn more about Special Educational Needs provision, which I found incredibly interesting.鈥�
