A talented basketball player has scored the top A-level grades she needs to join her sister at the University of Oxford.
Ripon Grammar School student and City of Leeds player Hattie Miles, 18, achieved A*s in maths and chemistry and an A in physics will now study materials science at the world-renowned institution.
She will be following in the footsteps of her 20-year-old sister, Nora, who will be starting her third year, studying French and Russian at the university.
The teenager, from Hampsthwaite, juggled her studies with playing for Yorkshire and the North of England in the Junior National League, in addition to being selected to play in a prestigious tournament in Miami last year with the City of Leeds.
Hattie, who started playing basketball in Year 7, trained twice a week with her City of Leeds team, which won the Under-18 national league conference division when she was in Year 12 and was promoted to the premier division during her Year 13 season.
She said:
“I definitely plan to continue playing at university and I am excited to play in the British Universities and Colleges Sport programme.”
