What is your fondest memory of your time at Rokeby?
All the school trips. including Provence, Normandy, Italy and the valedictory programme after our Year 8 exams. This stands out because I was given the amazing opportunity to travel abroad with my friends and teachers which meant I had great experiences and created very fond memories.
How did your teachers or friends at Rokeby inspire or influence you during those years?
Mr Attenborough and Mr Belbin inspired me to continue my love of history through to A-level. I studied History and Politics at A-level, which I loved, and I continue to enjoy reading in those areas. Mrs Wilkins helped me so much with my Latin and started me off on Ancient Greek from which I benefitted hugely. I went on to achieve 9s in both Latin and Greek at GCSE. Miss Houssaye inspired me in science, which I continued to A-level. I then chose a career in medicine. Miss Mason also inspired me in English Language and Literature.
One piece of advice to Rokeby boys
Get involved with all the sports even if you’re not the biggest fan because in secondary school you only get to play a few sports. So, engage and have fun as much as possible in many different sports.
