Alastair

I have been a member of the Edinburgh Academy since I joined the School in P1 and have thoroughly enjoyed my time here. I am studying Mathematics, Physics and Mathematics of Mechanics at Advanced Higher as maths is the academic area in which I am strongest and enjoy the most. After EA, I hope to go to England to study Maths at university.

Outside of the School curriculum I enjoy taking part in many activities such as Outdoor Education and Duke of Edinburgh. I also summited Toubkal on the School Trip in 2017 and spent three weeks of my 2018 Summer on the Outward Bound Skills for Life Course. I am also a keen (though not overly talented) Rugby player and have played for the 2nd XV for the last two years. I have played in the Pipe Band since 4ths and am very excited to be going on the trip to New York during the Easter holidays, when we will be able to march down Fifth Avenue while playing.
