Personal statement help...

I am currently doing my GCSEs but I am starting to write my personal statement for colleges. I am not sure how to start. Does anyone have any advice or guidance?

The ps builder tool on tsr is a good place to start https://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/personal_statement_builder/make_some_notes

If you follow the links there is a bunch of other advice and support. Although it is aimed more at uni PSs it is the same sort of requirements for a sixthform PS

hmm what sixth form is it? do they have a website b/c they might give you some info on there! maybe just about the specific subjects that interest you and why you want to take them further/ why you want to go there?
