The start of a new term at Felsted has seen some excellent news for two students. Anthony Hickling has been offered a place at Robinson College, Cambridge to read Mathematics, starting in September 2016. Anthony, an academic and music scholar at Felsted is an incredibly talented Mathematician and was one of only 40 students across the UK last year who was invited to take part in a prestigious Maths School based at Oxford University. He is taking A Levels in Chemistry, Physics and Further Maths.
Meanwhile, Faye Calow has been offered a place at Trinity College, Oxford to read English Language and Literature in September 2016. Faye, an academic scholar and Senior Prefect, is taking the International Baccalaureate, and is a member of the Andrews Society, the Sixth Form Academic Society.
Felsted offers excellent support for those applying to Oxbridge, with students attending Oxbridge style tutorials in their chosen fields and having the opportunity to practise their interview skills.
Rakesh Pathak, Head of History and the School’s Senior Academic Co-Ordinator, comments: "I am very proud of them both, as this has been a long cherished dream for both students. They have worked with great commitment and dedication to gain offers from such elite educational establishments. The application process is incredibly demanding and that makes their achievements all the more praiseworthy.”
