Tess Leyland will be attending University of Oxford to study a master’s in biology in September. Tess, previously of St Swithun’s School (Winchester), achieved A* grades in A Level Biology, Geography and EPQ, and an A in A Level Chemistry at Brock. She said: “I’m delighted with my results today – my teachers were instrumental in helping me get them. In particular, the science department and skills development team were fantastic. My science teachers really enabled my curiosity to flourish, for example, discussing topics with me that were beyond the course. Brock is by far the best educational establishment I’ve ever been. I’m going to be heading off to study biology at the University of Oxford. After that, I would like to go into environmental policy or law, as I want to try to make a positive change to society. Ideally something to do with climate justice because that’s what I’m passionate about.”
