Armela Undertaking the Bar Practice Course at the University of Law My parents were made aware of the unique anniversary bursary that was being offered as part of the scholarship competition held between the Oxford Times and Teddies. I was most surprised about the real opportunity to get involved in a range of diverse activities at Teddies. During my time I tried hockey and rowing for the first time, and participated in both the RAF and Army sections of the Combined Cadet Force. Further, I undertook one-to-one piano lessons in the music school, as well as attending the many events at The North Wall Arts Centre bringing together live performance, drama and dance. One of the highlights has to be the close-knit environment of my boarding house, Jubilee. I made friends for life that I will cherish forever! My time at Teddies enabled me to participate in a diverse range of activities to develop all my interests. As President of the School Law Society I realised my desire to further explore the principles underlying the law and I was given a huge confidence boost to pursue my dreams! After Teddies I went on to read Law at Corpus Christi College, University of Oxford. Having recently graduated, I am now undertaking the Bar Practice Course and Master of Laws in pursuit of my aspiration to practice at the Bar of England and Wales. I’d like to say a big thank you to those who’ve given so generously to bursaries at Teddies, as winning a bursary has really given me the opportunity to realise my academic and

Josh Studying Mechanical Engineering at Harvard

I first learned about Teddies during lockdown when I was working as a labourer and training every day on my rowing machine. It was a substantial change for me to transfer from my rural state school to an independent boarding school in Oxford. However, it was made simple by the incredibly supportive Teddies community - the two years I was at Teddies were some of the best years of my life. My time spent with the rowing team will always be a cherished memory, especially Henley, which was the biggest competition of the year and something we always worked so hard towards. My favourite memory was bringing back the long-forgotten Red Nose Row competition, which involved the entire school in the best sport ever! I will always be thankful for the opportunities that Teddies gave me because they completely changed the course of my life. The awesome teaching staff and depth of support really helped me to make the most of the education available to me. This combination of academic and athletic opportunities also introduced me to the US college system, which was something I had never even considered before attending Teddies. A growing number of the best US universities started contacting me about scholarships as a result of my academic and rowing accomplishments. And as a result, I am now a mechanical engineering major at Harvard, rowing as part of a great squad, and pushing myself to be the best I can be. (APSLEY, 2020-2022)
