Following their recent visit to Linklaters, we are delighted to share some fantastic news about two of our Academic Scholars, who have achieved an outstanding result in the competition.

Competing against more than 1,500 entries, the two pupils secured an impressive third place, earning themselves an invitation to attend the awards ceremony at Harvard University in March.

The achievement follows their participation in a collaborative challenge, which saw pupils from across the City of London Schools work together to develop and present ideas for causes they believed deserved funding. Competing for a share of £100,000, the challenge encouraged pupils to think creatively, work collaboratively and develop persuasive arguments to make their case.

To finish in the top three out of more than 1,500 entries is an incredible achievement and a real reflection of the pupils’ hard work, creativity and commitment throughout the challenge.

We are incredibly proud of both pupils and look forward to hearing all about their experience at Harvard in March. What a fantastic achievement!
