Pupils are celebrating today after receiving an astonishing 43 offers from either the University of Oxford or the University of Cambridge – the highest number in the College’s history. We are immensely proud of our pupils - a huge congratulations!
A huge well done to Poppy (Fenwick, Upper Fifth) for successfully auditioning for the National Youth Theatre this summer!
Poppy reflects on the opportunity: “I was rather apprehensive when going into the audition process, as I had to send in a self-tape which I had never filmed before, but I decided to give it a go. About a month later I received an email saying I had got through to the second round and that they would like to see act me live on Zoom.
“They asked me to change my monologue about a tragedy into a comic performance, hiding the character’s inner devastation. I had no expectations about getting in, as it is quite a prestigious theatre company, but I got the exciting news yesterday that I was accepted into the organisation for a course over the summer!"
“I am so excited for this opportunity and cant wait to be a part of such a professional theatre group."
We wish you all the very best, Poppy!
