Senior School Pupil Achievements 2009-2010

Oxbridge 2009-2010

In 2010, two Year 14 girls received Oxbridge offers: Ruoling Yan to read Medicine at Kings College, Cambridge; and Kathryn Hunter to read English at Corpus Christi College, Cambridge.  Both these girls had competed against stiff opposition in the preceding year and had won places at Cambridge Summer School.

This academic year, three of our current Year 13s have also won places to attend Cambridge Summer School 2010 - Bryony Gray (History/French); Gemma Aicken (English); and Cassandra Smith (Physics).  The girls applied for places against increased competition from schools right across Northern Ireland.

In February 2010, Glenlola Collegiate hosted the first Year 12 Oxbridge admissions conference to be held in Northern Ireland, when we were host venue for local schools.
