Staff and students were delighted to welcome Mrs Samantha Godden, a representative from the London Institute of Banking and Finance, to their school on Tuesday 17^th September. The LIBF is the organisation that is responsible for the Financial Studies courses which Fulston run.  Over the years, Fulston Manor has enjoyed continued success in this area with many students going on to study Finance at University or straight into employment within the industry.  This year has seen a significant increase in the number of students gaining A* & A grades.  Part of Samantha’s visit was to present students with scholarships for achieving A grades in their A-Level exam.  This scholarship part funds undergraduate courses at the London Institute of Banking and Finance, should the students wish to continue their studies.  Students took full advantage of being able to quiz Samantha about the degrees offered, as it is a strong possibility that they may continue their education at the London Institute of Banking and Finance. Caitlin Ingram said ““I am delighted to know that all the hard work has paid off, and I’m very happy to have come out of year 12 with an A”. Samantha was equally pleased and continues “This is a great reflection of how much effort the students and staff put in to achieving these results. It is always a pleasure to visit Fulston and present these awards”.
