Young scholars aim for top colleges
A new scholarship system at Harris Girls Academy East Dulwich is encouraging the most able students to aim for places at Britain’s leading universities.
Aspirational students with academic ability will take part in a wide range of extra-curricular visits and events – to give them the all-round experience top universities seek.
Eleven students in years 9 and 10 have been selected to join the programme. ‘These are students we expect to get the exam results needed to apply to top universities,’ says teacher Lorraine Stolarczyk.
‘What the scholarship programme offers is a chance for them to experience a wide range of cultural events, meet different people and generally go outside of their comfort zones – to give them the all-round experience that top universities are looking for.’
