Significant Success in the Advanced Section of the UKLO 2025 

We are delighted to announce significant success in the Advanced section of the UK Linguistics Olympiad. With around 1,800 candidates taking part nationally, Woodbridge gained what the organiser described as “a remarkably distinguished set of results”.   

In particular, of the 89 Golds which were awarded across Britain, two went to Woodbridge – a very impressive success-rate.  Moreover, five of our winners were competing a year up (the Advanced section is for Sixth Form). 

This is the third year in a row that Woodbridge has won a Gold in the Advanced section, and the second year in a row that Year 11’s Alexander has won Gold.  He and Abigail qualify for Round two, from which the GB Olympiad squad is picked. 

Results for the Breakthrough, Foundation and Intermediate levels will be announced in April.
