In 1992 I attended St Christopher's School in Letchworth, This was a Quaker ethos school which had a vegetarian diet I attended it until February 2003 when i moved to Ireland where I attended Crescent College which was a strict sixth college I didn't stay there long and after i left I attended Villiers School and it was here that I took The Junior Certification (which equates to O Levels so when aged 17 and half years old to return to the UK I ended up having to take GCSEs or equivalent qualifications. It took me the best part of ten years to get up to A level because I took courses on part-time basis.
