“If you’re at a school like Berkhamsted, you can achieve big things…”

A Berkhamstedian since Stepping Stones, Christina Soulsby has spent over 15 years at Berkhamsted School and senses the profound impact her education has had on her life.

Now a medical student at the prestigious Queen’s University Belfast, ranked 4th in the UK, she recounts the opportunities and support that helped her achieve her outstanding success. From EPQs on passion subjects to the feeling of transitioning to adulthood in the Zaha Hadid Sixth Form building, Christina shows how curiosity and intellectual ambition are sparked every day at Berkhamsted.

By 1st March 2026, all medic and vet applicants at Berkhamsted had already received at least one offer each. This impressive achievement is testament to how we support and mentor students to achieve in competitive fields, and to how we show students that their passions can translate into flourishing future careers. After years of enjoying sporting opportunities at Berkhamsted, Christina now hopes to be a sports medicine doctor, working with top premier league teams. We’re sure her ambitions are firmly within reach.

OB Christina Soulsby recently did a video discussing her time at Berkhamsted and her current study at Queens Belfast in medicine.
