On Thursday, 23^rd April, 3 of our courageous Year 7 students, Ayesha Malik, Jessica Earl and Mia Jaworska, attended the Regional Final of the Spelling Bee for German in Cambridge. The competition involved learning the meanings and spellings of 250 German words and then saying as many of them and spelling them using the German alphabet within a minute, in front of an audience in a lecture theatre. All three students competed in the best 49 of an entry of 3706 entrants.

Mia has won a place in the National Final taking place on Tuesday, 23^rd June, hosted by the University of Cambridge, which means she will have to learn another 100 words, 350 in total.

We are proud of them all and wish Mia the very best in the final round. Watch this space!
