Since September, West Hatch Year 7 students have been working prodigiously in preparation for the regional Spelling Bee competition in Spanish and French.

After competing in the first round alongside 4,625 other students in the East of England region, Aaron Gelkoff and Ashwin Sureshan topped the list of students to represent West Hatch at the regional finals against 65 other hopefuls on Wednesday, March 21.

Both students put in strong performances with Ashwin successfully continuing to the national finals at Cambridge University on June 29.
