SIXTH FORM

The last couple of weeks have seen me visiting Highgate Wood School in North London to document the everyday of the sixth formers who attend.

It felt slightly odd at first being "back at school" but soon got into the swing of the chaotic six period lesson timetables, school dinners, strange aroma's from bio to ill fragrances and being called 'sir' by the students was very strange but I embraced it never the less.

Towards the end of the assignment I found myself so used to the school environment that I got back into that mind set of longing for period six to come so I can go home, the day is done . . . but when it arrived, it was only 15:30pm . . . back to the studio then!

RESULT'S DAY

Highgate Wood School - 10am

We all remember that moment of slowly ripping the envelop open and pulling out those carefully folded A4 pieces of paper with our GCSE results on. Amongst the highs and lows, this image sums up that split second just before your brain processes your results.

Being there brought it all back to receiving mine 10 years ago: I ran straight home, up the stairs, leaving my mum down stairs nervously waiting, closed the door, sat on my bed and waited. I had this vision that all the results on the sheet of paper were revolving like a casino game and that when I opened the envelope, they stopped.
