  • ✨ We’re really proud of @BerkhamstedSixth student Bruno A, for being awarded the prestigious Arkwright Engineering Scholarship! 🎓This is a major achievement that showcases Bruno's exceptional talent and dedication in the field of engineering. 
 
🔧 The @ArkwrightScholarship helps talented sixteen-year-old engineers ‘change the world as future leaders’, providing support, mentorship, and incredible work experience opportunities throughout their A Levels. 
 
Bruno faced some tough competition when applying for the scholarship and was selected from over a thousand talented young applicants. His application process was made even tougher when the exams for the Arkwright Scholarship commenced around the same time as his GCSEs. But, with the help of his Design & Technology teacher, Amanda Attfield, who spends much of her time supporting Berkhamsted students who apply for the Arkwright Scholarship, Bruno took the rigorous application process in his stride and was named as one of just 315 Arkwright Scholars this week. 
 
Bruno is studying Maths, Further Maths, Physics, and Computer Science @BerkhamstedSixth and has just found out that his scholarship sponsor is the @RoyalAirForce.
 
“I’d love to work as an RAF or military engineer one day, I’m not entirely sure what my future holds yet, but I hope this scholarship will provide me with the opportunity to explore my interests and begin to build my future career”. 
 
Bruno is not the first Berkhamstedian to become an Arkwright Scholar. He follows in the footsteps of successful @OldBerkhamstedian 's, like Ben Harris, who also attained the scholarship in 2019 and by former student Dominic in 2020. Bruno and the Arkwright Scholars preceding him are a credit to the @berkodt department who offer much fantastic guidance and support to our engineering students who apply for the scholarship. 
 
🎉Congratulations Bruno, we cannot wait to see where this opportunity takes you! 

🔎 Find out about the opportunities available at Berkhamsted Sixth at our Open Event on Friday 29 September. Book your place via the link in our bio.

    Clearly an academically driven department, it’s refreshing to meet the Head of Sixth, Martin Walker, and hear that the students get the support and encouragement to find and follow their own path whatever that may be – from setting up their own business or doing an apprenticeship.

    The school delivers on its motto of ‘Developing Remarkable People’ – students are notably engaging and enjoy taking part in everything the school has to offer.
