The scholarships are very competitive and there is a rigorous selection process involving an extensive application form, a personal project, a formal written and drawn assessment, and then an interview. Melanie’s success means she will be given support during her journey through the Sixth Form in different ways, for example hands-on work experience, a mentor, project support and career planning.

“I am so happy to have received this scholarship and I look forward to the opportunities that it provides.”

Melanie, Year 11

Mr Seedhouse and Mrs Boddy would like to hugely congratulate Melanie on this fantastic and well-deserved achievement. It has taken an extraordinary amount of extra commitment and time to do this, at the same time as working hard for her GCSEs.

A tremendous accomplishment!
