UK Linguistics Olympiad success

The German and Classics Departments are delighted to announce that a number of year 12s who sat the UK Linguistics Olympiad have been recognised with Bronze and Silver Award Certificates in this prestigious competition.

Matthew Todorov, Elise Stringfellow, Billy Boyd, and Wren Welfare received Silver Award certificates; and Abdul Muazu, Anupam Bandi, Derin Burke, Kiran Pearce, and Ritvick Sharma received Bronze Award certificates.

The students thoroughly enjoyed the challenging paper - Frank Shrimpton in Year 12 was so inspired by the questions on Native American Indian languages that he researched these further and presented his findings to the Modern Foreign Languages Society.

We are very proud of all the year 12s who took part in the Olympiad and congratulate the winners.
