Emily hits the right notes for scholarship

From 2013, this has been an award given annually to the top Wallace Music student, consisting of a donation of £3,500.

School Governor, Mrs Gourley, herself a former pupil of Wallace with a love of music, established the award after seeing at close hand the needs of music students at third level.

Having achieved 4 A* at A-Level, Emily has accepted her offer to read music at Corpus Christi College, Cambridge, as well as a choral scholarship in Corpus Christi Chapel Choir.

Emily commented: “I am very grateful to have received the ‘Celia Gourley Scholarship’ this year, which will go a long way in helping with my musical education at university. I’m hoping to put it towards instrumental and vocal lessons. I would like to thank Mrs Gourley for her generosity in providing this bursary each year.”
