Moreton Hall Pupil Achieves Top IGCSE Geography Score
Posted September 22, 2015.
The Royal Geographical Society (RGS) recently announced the highest achieving UK IGCSE Geography candidate in the June 2015 session as Moreton Hall pupil, Selina Schoelles.
Selina scored an impressive 97% across all three Geography papers, one of her 12 A*s at GCSE.
She comments: “I was absolutely astonished when my Geography teacher, Mr Nanson, told me that I had achieved the highest IGCSE Geography result in this global examination. I still can’t quite believe it now, it just seems so surreal! I am over the moon of course and so grateful for the wonderful education and opportunities that Moreton offers.
I am now studying History, English, Biology and Ancient Greek with a view to reading History at university.”
John Nanson adds: “The Moreton Hall Geography Department changed to the IGCSE – run by Cambridge University – three years ago because it contains more intellectual rigor than the current UK GCSEs and prepares the girls really well for A Level. We are all delighted that Selina has achieved the highest mark in this international examination.”
