Councillor Profile
Madeline James
Hi.
My name is Madeline and I was born with a cleft lip and pallet. I’ve been bullied in the past and changed schools because of it, and faced a fair ammount of problems making the transistion between primary and secondary school.
I’ve just started my AS levels in sixthform doing: English Literature; Law and Philosophy and Ethics: and I am teaching myself AS Government and Politics. I finished my GCSE’s with good results despite having allot of time off for a big operation. So have learnt very well how to catch up on school work, although admittidly its always going to feel like your running on a treadmill.
I’d like to be a dentist when I am older. Though am unsure as what I’d like to specialise in.
If anyone would like a chat or advice. Please don’t hesitate to get in touch and I will get back to you as soon as possible.
Take care
Madeline
