A TOP North Yorkshire school is celebrating girls doing science subjects.
Harrogate Ladies’ College students have received university offers across a wide range of STEM (science, technology, engineering, medicine) subjects after introducing a Women in Science and Engineering programme (WiSE) in 2022.
About 42 per cent of the school’s offers are in STEM-related subjects, with careers in Paramedic Science, Veterinary Science, Mechanical Engineering and Medicine well within reach for the current Year 13 cohort at Harrogate Ladies’.
Harrogate Ladies’ head of sixth form Bonnie Christie reaffirmed the school’s focus on nurturing future leaders in STEM careers.
Mrs Christie said: “Harrogate Ladies’ College has a proud tradition of advocating for women studying courses in traditionally male-dominated industries, and we are so proud of our current Upper Sixth cohort for pursuing careers in STEM.
