Hi @Monneta,

The best place to look for a guide on how to write a personal statement would be to look at the UCAS website or even ask your teachers on what to include - they can be a great help! The key things to include, however, would be: why you are applying, demonstrate how your skills and knowledge relate to the subjects chosen, why you are interested and why you will thrive in the chosen sixth form. Good luck!
