1. When you were at Portland Place School and what how long were you there for?

I was in Portland Place School from 2007-2015 so from year 7 to year 13. When I first started there was no year 5 and 6! 

2. What have you been up to since school?

Since I left school I went onto Queen Mary University of London to pursue a degree in Aerospace Engineering, will be graduating this summer. 

3. Who were you favourite teachers at Portland Place School? And why?

This is a hard one - I loved 90% of the teachers. I don't know why it just seemed like they were very nice to me, I think it was because I was respectful to them. But there were a few that were more of 'mentors' than teachers - this is what I think made Portland Place School awesome. Dr Yazdi, a real legend, amazing person, always saw him as a second father, Mr Ahktar from Maths, Mr Soogund from Design & Technology, Mr Jones (the greatest art teacher ever), Mr Jones the head of sixth form, Miss Hunt and Miss Butler. But I probably had the best time in class with Mr Thompson, Mr Aaronson, Miss English, these teachers knew how to treat all of the students perfectly and in return we had a lot of respect for them, they also did make the subject 1000x more interesting as they were very intelligent and innovative at the same time.

4. What are your fondest memories of your time at Portland Place School?
