The first student to study A-level Music Technology at Queen Margaret’s has been awarded a place at Leeds College of Music.
Poppy Wood will study Popular Music Production at the college next year.
Sam Horseman, Director of Music, commented: “Competition for the places was very high but Poppy’s excellent portfolio ensured she was accepted and means she will have access to world class studios and musicians as she hones her craft throughout her degree.”
Proving the school’s strength in the arts, three girls have offers for the Royal Drawing School, London whilst another is heading to Milan to study a Fashion Foundation course.
The girls’ future plans show that they are just as likely to pursue a career in the all-important STEM subjects, with many having already been accepted at prestigious Russell Group universities. Human Sciences at Oxford, Chemical and Environmental Engineering at Nottingham, Medicine at Bristol, Veterinary Science at Liverpool and Chemistry with Mathematics at UCL are all courses which are set to welcome Queen Margaret girls in September.
Claire Rhodes, Deputy Head (Academic), said: “The girls’ attitude to learning is excellent and they are highly motivated to succeed. For so many girls to have secured such excellent places during this otherwise uncertain time is testament to this. We aim to unleash creativity and innovation here at Queen Margaret’s and the exciting subjects the girls will go onto study show we’re doing just that.”
