Highly Commended

Oxbridge Essay Finalists

Huge congratulations to Jaiden and William (Upper Sixth Form) who have both been selected as finalists for the well-renowned John Locke Institute Essay Competition. Jaiden’s fantastic essay questioned the continuing role of the Fed and whether there is a case for abolishing it and William wrote an excellent piece on the benefits and costs of immigration. Both were thought-provoking, sophisticated and well-researched pieces of writing and it is no surprise that they have been highly commended already in the competition. Well done Jaiden and William and fingers crossed for the final!

The competition drew eight hundred and eighty-five submissions from sixty-eight countries in six continents. Only the highest quality essays were shortlisted for a prize. The overall winner will be announced at New College Oxford on Friday 20 September with Jaiden and William both in attendance.
