We were delighted to meet Dominik again today, who will be completing his A-Levels at Framlingham College in two weeks' time. Dominik originally wanted to spend only one term at Framlingham in Year 8, but it turned into five years in total. His English is so good that he now prefers it over speaking German. His current role as Head of CCF is, in his words, the peak of his stay at Framlingham. After completing his A-Levels, Dominik plans to study law or politics. Framlingham was the best decision of his life, he confirmed to us again today!
