Anna Learoyd and Oluwaseyi Daniyan, two CCSS students, were awarded Nuffield Science Bursaries in June 2007 and received the unique opportunity to undertake a project in a research laboratory at the end of the lower sixth year.

The Nuffield Science Bursaries is a highly competitive programme open to students studying sciences on a two year programme. It enables them to take part in a defined research project during the summer holidays.

Anna studies Biology, Chemistry and Mathematics at CCSS. She has applied to read Natural Sciences at the University of Cambridge. Anna was awarded a Nuffield Bursary to undertake a project to study the neural pathways underlying addictive behaviour at the Clinical Neurosciences Institute, University of Cambridge.

Oluwaseyi studies Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics and she has applied to study Chemical Engineering at the Imperial College in London. Oluwaseyi was awarded a bursary to undertake a project in chemical engineering, in the Department of Chemical Engineering at the University of Cambridge. Oluwaseyi went on to win the national BA Crest award. The award from the British Association for the Advancement of Science is a nationally recognised accreditation scheme for project work in the fields of science and technology aimed at students aged 11-19.
