Joshua Gilbert

A hard-working student with good studying skills currently partaking in GCSES. I am a Level 7 FA (Football Association) Referee with nearly 50 games refereed. This displays perseverance and understanding to control 22 players and managers to ensure safe games and an enjoyable experience for all. I have also participated in DofE Bronze which displays my adaptation skills as I was out of my comfort zone trying something new.

I am a level 7 FA referee. Being a football referee requires excellent communication skills, the ability to make quick and fair decisions, and strong leadership qualities. These attributes can be very appealing as they show that you can handle pressure, manage conflicts effectively, and maintain professionalism in challenging situations. Additionally, being a referee demonstrates your ability to enforce rules, ensure fair play, and maintain control over a situation, all of which are valuable skills in various work environments. 

I have just partaken GCSE’s. Last year I completed Religious Education and got awarded with a Grade 6.
