Amelie, the second recipient of our first annual Crossley Brothers Scholarship, has just begun her studies at the University of Oxford and she has shared an update with us about how the scholarship has impacted her:

“I’m really enjoying university life so far and have settled in quickly. After almost two weeks of lectures I’m loving all of my modules, and I’m finding Oxford’s tutorial system especially valuable - studying in a group of just two students with a specialist tutor is helping me deepen my understanding every week.

The scholarship has already made such a difference, helping with accommodation costs and essential items like my sub fusc, which we wear for exams and formal ceremonies. On Saturday I took part in matriculation, which was such a memorable experience - and I’m now officially a member of Oxford University!”

The Crossley Brothers Scholarship supports exceptional Crossley Heath students in our Sixth Form, as they leave us and take bold next steps in their education and careers. We are so proud of Amelie and everything she has achieved and we can’t wait to follow her journey!
