Year 9 Higher Project Success
09 July 2021
In Year 9 girls are offered the opportunity to take part in The Higher Project. This allows girls to discover the joys of independent learning, take responsibility for their own study and develop new life and study skills. This work prepares them well for the challenges of the GCSE course in Year 10. This year, the girls have faced more challenges than usual trying to interview, question and research their ideas in the middle of a pandemic and in many lockdowns. However, they haven’t let us down and have used their imaginations and an innovative approach.
This year the girls have explored a diverse range of topics, choosing challenging, lively and topical issues to explore in the world of history, medicine, twitter, religion, music and space. The girls have done a fantastic job and it was really hard to pick a final shortlist. They were an absolute pleasure to read!
We would like to Highly Commend the following girls for their excellent work:
Maya Kanagaratnam
Siyona Kataria
Shanya Kulutange
Emily Bongs
Iyda Gilani
Laila Johngir
Hafsa Butt
Jaikirit Bindra
Lami Ofinran
Madeleine Bowler
