Jacob Barnes - Congratulations!

Date: Tuesday 6 November 2007

I have been advised by the Director of Music, Mr Chris McDade, that Jacob Barnes has been offered a place at the Royal Northern College of Music in Manchester - unconditionally. This means that he needs merely to matriculate by getting two Grade Es at A-level to qualify for the place.

In addition he has been awarded a scholarship - the value of which to be adjudged - to support him in his studies in the wilds of North West England.

Well done, Jacob! This may well be the first of several offers from prestigious colleges which could come his way in the next few months - we hope!
