Pupils at Bolton School recently took part in the Anthea Bell Prize for Young Translators, a prestigious language translation competition organised by Queen's College, Oxford.
A number of pupils in both Boys’ Division and Girls’ Division had a go at translating language extracts at varying levels in French, German, Italian, Mandarin and Spanish.
Year 7 pupil Alistair Ashworth was awarded North West Winner in the Italian Beginners’ category.
Year 8 pupil Derek Leong was awarded North West Winner in the Mandarin Beginners category as well as National Runner-up.
Year 10 pupil Lily Coupe was awarded North West Winner in the Mandarin GCSE level category.
Over 16,000 students participated in the prize in the academic year and representatives from the Queen’s College Translation Exchange said: ‘The standard of the translations submitted to the prize was very high and our team of judges was impressed by the creativity and fluency on display.’
