Matthew Hipkin secured his place to read History at Cambridge, with four A*s in English, History, Government & Politics and TEP (Theology, Ethics & Politics). A weekly boarder from Felsted, Matthew was an Academic Scholar who balanced his studies as a member of the School’s running club. He achieved a commendation for his entry to Oxford University’s prestigious Julia wood Prize and enjoyed representing the school in the Model United Nations at The Hague.

He comments; 'One thing I'll continue to appreciate about my time at Felsted is the space provided to grow, both academically and in character.'
