Scholars Programme Graduation
Thu 18 May 2023We were delighted for our Year 10 Brilliant Club pupils to attend their graduation this week at the Royal Hollaway, University of London.
The Scholars Programme has involved pupils working closely with a PhD Tutor, who is either studying to gain a PhD or already has one. They have studied a series of small group, university-style tutorials on a ‘super-curricular’ course which explores topics they may not usually study in the school curriculum.
Pupils have worked towards final assignments that have challenged them to work above their current key stage.
Well done to all!

**Outstanding Pupil Achievement**
Fri 05 May 2023Kolbe House Year 10 pupil Ophelia is a true inspiration, here's a little piece of her journey so far....
Ophelia has had the most incredible journey which encompassed being a soloist in ballets and an opera at the Paris Opera Garnier and Bastille! However, the dance world is a tough one. Ophelia left home in September 2021 to live in Portugal to train at the Annarella Sanchez International Academy of Dance where she trained 4-6 hours a day in a pre-professional ballet school and attended high school studying in Portuguese. She then moved to Arizona USA where she trained 4-6 hours a day at Master of Ballet Academy pre pro division and was homeschooled until there was a sudden family bereavement. The families plans had to change, therefore moving back to England. Ophelia now travels upto London on a daily basis to train at Masters of Ballet Academy in their pre pro division, managing to combine her education here at St Edmund's and her high-level ballet training.
We are proud to support you Ophelia... Reach for the stars, they're not far away!!
