Visit to Oxford
Our #worldclass essay competition winners had the pleasure of meeting the #worldclass writer Dr Robert Douglas-Fairhurst, author of, most recently, ‘Metamorphosis’, at the Oxford college, at which he is the Director of Studies for English Literature, Magdalen.
Students from The Morley Academy, Alexandra Park School, Five Acres High School, Tolworth Girls’ School, Sandringham School, King Ecgbert School, Hungerhill School, Weatherhead High School, Berkeley Academy, Forest Gate Community School and The Ruth Gorse Academy were treated to tea, biscuits and a chat with Robert, and a tour around the college with the college’s senior outreach and access officer. We are very proud of our winning writers from both #worldclass primary and secondary schools who produced essays on the subject of ‘Friendship’ to an undergraduate standard, and extremely grateful to Robert who has worked tirelessly with WCSQM on widening participation and improving access.
