Congratulations to Simran (U6) who has secured a prestigious degree apprenticeship with BAE Systems, following a highly competitive “Women in Engineering” insight programme. As one of only two successful applicants, she navigated a rigorous selection process, including site visits and a high-stakes final interview. To prepare, Simran worked closely with Mrs Miles, using mock interviews to translate her lifelong “King’s Experience” – from peer mentoring to volunteering – into the professional leadership skills that ultimately won over the recruiters.
This four-year apprenticeship allows Simran to earn a full degree while working at the forefront of global aerospace and defence. She credits her success to a strong support network, particularly the “tough but vital” coaching from Mrs Miles and her family. We are incredibly proud of Simran.
