Latymer Upper School Student Wins Ron Cooke Award

We are delighted to announce that Claudia, from Year 13, has been awarded the Ron Cooke Award from the Royal Geographical Society for her Geography Non-Examination Assessment (NEA). This highlights her outstanding independent investigation ‘To what extent does the carbon content of trees differ between urban woodlands in Highgate Wood, London, and rural woodlands in Parnholt Wood, Hampshire?’ Out of 35,000 students completing the NEA, Claudia’s project was selected as the best in the entire cohort, an extraordinary achievement.

The judges were particularly impressed by Claudia’s meticulous and detailed approach to her research. Her statistical analysis demonstrated exceptional precision and a deep understanding of the subject, which set her work apart from other submissions.

The Geography Department are incredibly proud of her accomplishment, and we are thrilled to see her hard work and passion for geography recognised on such a prestigious platform.
