Brighton Student Receives Bursary from Cambridge University

Bo Wen Wang, 19, from Dalian, China, has received a Cambridge Commonwealth Trust Bursary from Cambridge University to help him with his degree level studies in Engineering.

Bo Wen who will complete his A level course at Bellerbys Brighton in June has a conditional offer from Homerton College, Cambridge University, and needs to achieve A grades in Maths, Further Maths, Physics and Chemistry to confirm his place.

Bo Wen has particular admiration for the intelligence, patience and kindness of Dr. Butcher, his Further Maths teacher and he has found the teaching at Bellerbys overall to be 'great'.

During his two year A Level course he has stayed with a charming host family in Hove whom he now regards as friends, whose cooking is excellent - mainly English menus - so high praise from a Chinese student!

Working as a volunteer at the British Heart Foundation charity shop in Hove in his spare time was a memorable experience for him as he learnt a great deal about the generosity of the natives of Brighton and Hove!  He also is an expert calligrapher and enjoys playing pop music on the guitar.

The Vice Principal, Peter Corcut commented, 'Bo Wen has been an excellent student who combines the qualities of dedication, intellectual gifts and modesty! We hope he achieves the grades he needs and goes on to have a sparkling academic career at Cambridge!'

Brighton Students Finish 11th in a Nationwide Investment Competition

A team from Bellerbys Brighton last month finished 11th out of 8,000 entrants in a UK wide investment game for students, the Student Portfolio Challenge 2007/8.  This is a remarkable achievement.

The group named Glitter, assisted by their teacher, Duncan Stringer, managed to turn a virtual portfolio of £96,000 into £215,700 in just three months.  This is especially impressive given the recent falling stock markets across the world. 

All students are studying A Levels at Bellerbys Brighton and are captained by Wang Li (Lily), who is obviously highly talented in this field and wishes to pursue a career in Financial Engineering.  Her team mates are Ying Peng (Leo), Yu Qi Zhu (Peter) and Liu Lindi (Lindy).

Glitter will now progress to the Regional Finals in London on 19th March.  The top prize for the winning team is a trip to Wall Street, New York, plus prize money for both the group and their school.  We wish them the very best of luck!
