Finally, Adam Hatoum has been offered a place at Robinson College, Cambridge, to study Medicine.

All of these students have been educated at King’s Ely for many years with over 40 school years between them and all of their teachers who have supported and nurtured them have been hugely proud to hear of this exciting news.

Director of Higher Education Guidance, Gill Smith, added, “This is another successful year for all our higher education candidates and I’m delighted that these five students have obtained offers for such keenly contested places”.
