Year 7’s Izzy took a trip to Cambridge last week to compete in the National Final of the French Spelling Bee in Cambridge.   She spelled accurately and confidently and could not have done any better.  We are very proud of her accomplishments both on the day and throughout the whole tournament. She has put in a tremendous amount of effort and shown immense dedication over the last nine months.    To have been one of the last 40 pupils out of 20 000 across Great Britain is an astounding achievement.  Bravo Izzy.

“Being part of the Spelling Bee was a fantastic experience and it definitely helped boost my confidence, as well as my vocabulary.  The competition was both terrifying and exciting, and getting the chance to visit Cambridge University was really cool. I loved having the opportunity to do this and is a memory I will treasure forever!”
