Georgia's Story

Georgia's journey with us began nearly 12 years ago in Year 2, and now, she’s off to study medicine at Oxford University after achieving A*A*AA in her A Levels! 

Georgia’s dedication, hard work, and passion for medicine have led her to this incredible opportunity. From shadowing anaesthetists at Leeds General Infirmary to working in the neurosurgery department, her experiences have been invaluable. She also excelled in her EPQ on neurology, earning top marks and high praise from the examination board.

Beyond academics, Georgia has been a fantastic Deputy Head Girl and a talented sportsperson, representing both her county and school in hockey. We wish her the best of luck at Oxford! 

Moses' Story

We’re incredibly proud to celebrate Moses, a truly inspiring student who has been a positive and enthusiastic influence at QE College since joining us in Year 9.

From the start, Moses demonstrated an exceptional gift for mathematics, and his dedication has made him one of the most motivated students we’ve ever had. Not one to shy away from a challenge, Moses excelled not only in maths but also in Computer Science, earning a distinction in the national Oxford University Bebras Challenge and advancing to the top 10% in the Oxford University Computing Challenge.

But Moses' achievements go beyond the classroom. He has been an active participant in senior hockey, completed the Duke of Edinburgh Silver Award, contributed to the QE Motorsport Team, and served as a Senior Prefect and Science Ambassador. He also impressively taught himself to speak Japanese and Indonesian!

As Moses embarks on his next adventure, studying Data Science at the London School of Economics and Political Science with A*AB grades, we wish him all the success in the world.
