How did your time at Gad’s prepare you for your career?: I would say my time at Gad’s Hill prepared me for my career mainly through the lessons learned in English with Mr Wadey.
His lessons helped me to develop the ability to be able to critique/analyse documents and in doing so, I have carried that with me into my professional career to ensure my proposal responses correctly answer the requirement questions listed by our clients.
