Olivia Harding attended Samworth Church Academy School and was chosen to apply for a scholarship and bursary to attend Gordonstoun School in Scotland for 2 years in the Sixth Form.  Both Philip, the late Duke of Edinburgh, and King Charles 111 went to Gordonstoun School.  Olivia was very happy at Gordonstoun and really enjoyed having her own room, playing sport and making friends with other students.  She will be going to Leeds’ University in September. She spoke incredibly well and we were very impressed with her talk.

Members may be interested to know that Nick Linney, one of our previous speakers, was a pupil at Gordonstoun in his youth.
