What are you applying for?


University x
Make 80% of it about the subject you're applying for, then a very short para at the end about your extra curriculars etc. Your form tutor and teachers also submit a page about you, and in this your form tutor will cover most of your qualities, skills, and extra curricular things so theres no need to cover it in the personal statement.

Just focus on your subject, why you want to study it, extra things you have done outside of school to show your dedication to that subject etc
This is a plan

Intro
First paragraph- mention reasons for studying that course and passion
Second paragraph- explore your interest in the subject and again reasons why
Third paragraph- list key skills and why they matter. Include extra curricular activities here
Fourth paragraph- qualities and growth mindset. Expand fully on detail too
Fifth paragraph- conclusion and summing up
