Speaking about her offer, Chloe said: “I study Maths, Psychology, Law and the Welsh Baccalaureate at Newtown High School. I have been offered a place on the Experimental Psychology course at Oxford University at St Catz and want to pursue a career as an experimental psychologist.
 
“The Seren Network helped me during the interview process as I was given support and guidance on how to answer the interview questions effectively. Last year, I attended the Seren Conference and went to the Oxbridge advice seminar where I was given helpful tips on how to make my application stand out.
 
“I’m looking forward to being part of Oxford University and I’m very grateful for this opportunity.”
 
Cllr Phyl Davies, Powys County Council’s Cabinet Member for Education, said: “The Seren Network supports more able and talented pupils in the county and has helped many young people to enter Britain’s top universities.
