Essay Competition Success
We are delighted to share the outstanding achievements of two of our pupils in prestigious national essay competitions.
Sebastian (U6, Kipling) has been selected to be Commended by Trinity College, Cambridge, for the essay entitled ‘Why did the crisis that triggered the First World War begin in the Balkans?’ he submitted to their 2025 Robson History Essay Prize. This highly regarded competition attracts entries from some of the most talented young historians across the country, and being recognised by the judges is a significant accomplishment.
Meanwhile, Alex (U6, Thomason) has been shortlisted for the John Locke Institute Essay Competition for his thoughtful and original response to the question, ‘Which figure in history did most to enlarge human freedom?’ The John Locke Global Essay Competition is one of the world’s leading essay challenges for young thinkers, receiving submissions from across the globe.
Congratulations to both pupils!
