From Cranleigh Abu Dhabi to Durham University.

We are delighted to celebrate alumna Ella, who is currently studying Law at Durham University. Reflecting on her university experience so far, Ella shared her enjoyment of the intellectual challenge that comes with studying law, particularly the opportunity to debate complex and thought-provoking topics with her peers during tutorials.

Beyond academics, Ella has embraced university life through experiences such as Durham’s Hill Walking Society, exploring the UK while building new connections and experiences outside the classroom.

Looking back on her time at Cranleigh Abu Dhabi, Ella highlighted the strong sense of community and the value of small-group A-Level teaching, which encouraged open discussion, deeper engagement, and confidence in expressing ideas across subjects including History and English Literature.

We are incredibly proud of all that Ella continues to achieve and look forward to following her journey ahead.
