'I was born in Northallerton and went to Mill Hill, the Allertonshire and the College in the 1980s. I did quite well in my exams but it was a history teacher Mr Chedburn who suggested I applied to Oxford and I managed to get in to study history. After feeling very out of my depth at the start surrounded by people who sounded super-intelligent, I gradually realised I deserved to be there too and managed to graduate with a 2:1 and really enjoyed it.

I attended Northallerton School for my GCSEs and Sixth Form, leaving in 2000 for university in London.

ALUMNA SOPHIE HALLIDAY PURSUES A CAREER BY FOLLOWING HER INTERESTS AND INSTINCTS
01.03.2021 // Alumni // Careers
'I studied at Northallerton School through to 2012, where I left with A Levels in Art, English Language and Psychology. I then took a gap year in New Zealand to train as a ski instructor, and followed the Winter season round to Switzerland where I applied my training and worked.

In my mind, the only way I was going to go to uni, was to study Art....
ALUMNUS, ALEX WICKENS, TELLS HIS STORY SO FAR…
25.02.2021 // Alumni
'I attended Northallerton School from 2005 to 2012 for all my secondary school education. I left with A-levels in Art, Biology, and Physics.

I think this gives a sense of how uncertain I was of what I wanted to do with the rest of my life let alone career....
