French and Spanish Success

Niamh Shirley and Kathryn Bell, both aged 11, have proudly represented the College in a National Spelling Competition.

The students had to visit Bath to take part in the annual event which happened on Monday, 24 April.  Niamh was tested against Spanish and Kathryn her French skills.  Both students have worked extremely hard to reach this prestigious event.  Prior to the event both students were given 100 words to learn and remember before the test date.  On the day, the words would be shuffled so they would not know in which order they would be tested.  Both students performed incredibly well with Niamh reaching the semi-final with an overall position of 3rd place.  Well done to Niamh and Kathryn.
