Prestigious Scholarship awarded for Design and Technology
Charles Simpson, a Year 11 pupil, has been awarded an Arkwright Scholarship after successfully passing the Arkwright Aptitude Paper in which he demonstrated both flair and originality in solving Engineering Design problems. He also impressed the panel of interviewers earlier in the year with his inspiring GCSE coursework. Sponsored by Industry and Charitable Trusts, Charles will be formally presented with his award by The Institution of Engineering and Technology at Savoy Place in London in October this year. The award itself was founded in 1990 and supports young people during their A levels to the tune of £250 a year to assist with the purchase of books and materials and Charles will carry the status of Arkwright Scholar on to university. The school’s Design and Technology Department receives £225 p.a. for the duration of Charles’s stay.
