Merry Christmas from all of us at St Andrews College, Cambridge
Last week we recognised all of the students' achievements over this term at our termly celebration assembly. Students were nominated for their fantastic contributions in lessons, attitude to learning, and work outside the classroom. We also awarded our first Dukes Young Leaders Awards ...certificates. Three students have attained the Crown Award, our highest level, for their outstanding commitment to leadership, service and entrepreneurship.
Students were getting into the Christmas spirit at the Wimpole Christmas Lights last week. They enjoyed the spectacular illumination trail, laser light shows and of course meeting Father Christmas. 🎅
We are very excited to see our new Badminton kit is coming along nicely...
We can't wait to see them. Stay tuned 🏸

This year St Andrew’s College Cambridge launched the Dukes Young Leaders Award, which comprises of four different levels, gold, platinum, diamond and crown. Students will be working towards completing the DYLA alongside their studies at St Andrews.
Opportunities to complete sections of ...the awards are offered to students both inside and outside the classroom. I am delighted to say that we have already been able to award 12 students with DYLA certificates, with three of those accomplishing the highest level, Crown.
Some of the experiences that students have taken part in include summer leadership courses, outreach at a local secondary school where St Andrews students planned and led a diversity workshop, teaching year 8 students some basic Chinese characters, phrases and sharing cultural traditions, and joining residential activity weekends. Other students have represented the school in different sports, with some taking on the role of captain.
We have an active student council who are great communicators, and vital in helping shape the future of the college. These students will be developing their leadership skills by running assemblies and supporting with house challenges. The skills they build upon whilst fulfilling this role are a key part of the DYLA.
It’s been great to see the students engage in the award and share all of the amazing things that they have been doing. The award challenges students to seek out opportunities and experiences that support them to develop lifelong skills as well as giving them fun memories along the way 🙂
A little taste of life here at St Andrews College, Cambridge
Meet Duru Karagoz, an ambitious and passionate student, who joined St Andrew’s College Cambridge in September 2023 to pursue her A-Level studies. Set to graduate in 2025, Duru is on a remarkable journey toward a bright future in medical sciences.
Duru is preparing to progress to a ...medical-related major at a top university, with aspirations to become a scientist and make significant contributions to the field.
During the summer holiday of her first A-Level year, she participated in an internship at Cambridge University Hospital as part of the Work Experience Project. This invaluable hands-on experience deepened her understanding of the medical field and fueled her determination to make a difference through science and research.
Reflecting on her time at the college, Duru highlights the academic environment, where personalized teaching, access to Cambridge University resources, and support from PhD-level tutors have been instrumental in her success. She values the college’s commitment to preparing students for top universities, as well as its emphasis on real-world experiences that bring learning to life.
As a boarding student, Duru has also enjoyed being part of a diverse and inclusive community, forging friendships with peers from around the globe. The nurturing environment has given her the confidence and skills to thrive both academically and personally.
