GDST Pearson and Silver Awards
The GDST Pearson and Silver Awards are offered to pupils to assist towards the cost of attending courses with a classical content, e.g. summer schools in Classical Greek or Latin at Bryanston, Durham or Repton Schools, University or King’s Colleges, London, or Lampeter (Univ. of Wales).
The applications were judged by Sarah Fryer, Head of Classics at Sheffield, Peter Maskell, Head of Classics at Putney and Charlie Nicholls, Head of Classics at Bromley.
The committee considered the following criteria when looking at the applications:
- Academic excellence in classical subjects
- Commitment to study a classical subject at university
- Contribution to school life
- Financial need
- Determination to overcome practical difficulties in studying classics at school where these are encountered
We are delighted to report that Northwood’s Tharikaa has been awarded a Pearson and Silver Award to the value of £170.00.
Congratulations Tharikaa!
