Maya Raman Jones came to Sevenoaks
when she was eleven. In the Sixth Form she studied
Chemistry, English, Maths, History, Biology, Russian
and Theory of Knowledge.
“At eleven I really loved English. Later on,
the sciences turned my head! But as the IB curriculum
at Sevenoaks is so broad, I didn’t have to choose
between the arts and sciences until I applied to
university – by which time I was sure Chemistry was
the one for me.”
Which explains why Maya is now reading
Chemistry at the University of Oxford and dreaming of
a PhD and a career in scientific research.
