Three Ysgol Penglais pupils have been awarded places at Harvard University Summer School.

Miriam Shelley, Penny Lewis and Eleanor Mathias, all of whom are in Year 12 at the Aberystwyth school, won their places due to their recent academic achievements; extra-curricular activities and volunteering opportunities they have taken part in; and by writing a handful of interpretive short essays.

They will get to experience how education in America differs to Wales and meet other students from across the world.
