Every year RCT and Griffin Mill Garages present an Outstanding Student of Achievement Award. Each of the 19 schools in RCT can nominate one student for this award and this year our nominee is Lucie Christopher.  Lucie will meet the judges and other nominees during an outdoor activity day to be held on 4^th May at the Vale of Glamorgan Hotel. The event will end with a gala dinner at the Holland House hotel,Cardiff in September where the achievements of all the nominees will be celebrated. The winner of the overall award will also be announced on the evening and presented with a fully taxed and insured car to use for one year. We wish Lucie the best of luck with this nomination.

We are delighted to report that Katie Thomas, Year 12, has been offered a place on the University of Oxford’s UNIQ summer school 2012. Competition for these places is tough with 3400 students applying for 750 places this year. Katie will study Law for one week in August and will attend lectures and seminars by Oxford academics and be mentored by current undergraduates. There will also be the opportunity to take part in social activities and events.

Congratulations to Scott James Year 13, who has been offered an apprenticeship with Red Bull, the Formula One Racing Team. Scott will be based in Milton Keynes and will train with the company. We wish Scott every success for the future.
