Welcome to our Journal!
The Sixth Form Editorial Team invites you to get involved. We meet every Tuesday lunch time in room 5 to review submissions, work on plans for the Journal and commission new articles.
Miss Richer
I’m Miss Richer and I teach English and lead on academic enrichment at Cherwell – any activity that takes you beyond what you learn in the classroom. My favourite thing about the Journal is learning weird and wonderful things about a whole range of different topics and I can’t wait to see what you come up with!
Aman Kumar
My name is Aman and I am in year 12 currently studying chemistry, biology, physics and maths. I am hoping to go on to do medicine at university. However, along with medicine, I have a major interest in politics and I am very happy to discuss ideas with people about the modern world. Of course, I am also happy to read and help people with articles relating to these topics.
Freya Macleod
I’m Freya, a year 13 student studying English, History and French. I am applying to study Politics and Sociology at university.

Issues I’m currently particularly interested in include climate change, the dynamics of protests and the rise of the far right in Europe, but I’m happy to help with whatever topic interests you. Send me an email if you need inspiration or want your article read!
Mae Cook
My name is Mae, I’m a student in Year 13 and I study English, French and Spanish. I’m hoping to study Modern Languages or French and English at university.

Don’t hesitate to send me an email if you have any questions or need any help with ideas for the journal!

If you would like some starting points or a general discussion for your article, feel free to send me a message.
Isabel Elsner
Hello! I’m Izzy, a Year 12 student studying English, German and RPE at A Level. I will be specialising in Philosophy and Ethics for the Cherwell Journal, but I am hoping to study English Literature at University and love to read widely (especially classical English and Russian fiction). I love listening to hip hop and I’m doing my EPQ on the literary analysis of rap lyrics – if you can write about Shakespeare, you can write about Eminem! Get in touch if you have already written anything that needs a proof-read (even if it’s just a SPAG-check), especially on philosophical/ethical theories and their application!

“The editors helped me to think of new ideas and to improve my article by focusing on the most interesting things. I was glad I didn’t have to think about my grammar and I could just focus on research and my thoughts, too!“
