Louie

Small-town upbringing, big-world mindset. While parents finish their NHS shifts, homework is completed in waiting rooms. An unquenchable curiosity, burning with questions. The bursary that sets potential alight. Determined to help others. Instilled with the confidence to become a surgeon. This is the difference Marlborough makes.

Further Details

Louie knew that he wanted to become a surgeon at an early age, in part inspired by his family: his parents both work in non-clinical roles in the NHS and his sister is a nurse. He felt, early on, that the Grammar Stream at Swindon Academy and then a place at Marlborough offered him his best chance of fulfilling his dream.

Boarding has been a new challenge for Louie and he has felt his confidence increase as a result. He feels he is really being pushed academically and he finds the independent study a good preparation for university.

Louie hopes to study Medicine and become a surgeon. “I want to go on and make a difference and help people,” explains Louie.
