International Baccalaureate student, Olivia Reed, achieved a Silver award. Rheanne Lee, Clara Pichel, Emily Harwood achieved Credit awards. Overall results of the competition showed that Bridgwater College placed seventh overall in England for all Languages in the 1-50 students category out of 22 schools.
