| Hampton School | "I am thrilled for Henry, Pallav and Daniel, who have performed brilliantly in not one but two rounds of the UKLO. Thank you for your hard work and commitment, especially with your public exams on the horizon, and for inspiring budding linguists to give the UKLO a go!" "What a pleasure it has been to organise the UKLO for these bright linguists, who threw themselves into training sessions and tackled an exceptionally challenging paper with enthusiasm and resilience. To see so many new faces amongst our seasoned veterans was also very heartening." " I would highly recommend the UKLO to anyone interested in languages or anyone who likes to decode puzzles with a logical approach" | UKLO Awards 2023 UK LINGUISTICS OLYMPIAD (UKLO) -(2023) Linguistics Olympiad Success -(2022) |

"The competition is a platform for students to showcase their analytical and problem-solving skills drawing from their own language knowledge while exploring diverse languages from around the world. We look forward to next year’s competition and we are happy to welcome even more pupils to our weekly lunchtime Friday sessions." | UK Linguistics Olympiad (UKLO)-2023 |
| Royal Russell School | "Great Hall played host to 124 pupils from Years 6 -13... for the eagerly awaited Linguistics Olympiad.The competition requires pupils to apply problem-solving and critical thinking skills to tackle linguistics puzzles. Everyone engaged enthusiastically and the teams worked well together to solve each of the challenging problems, coming away with a great sense of fun while stimulating the brain." "Patience, teamwork and an appreciation for the complexity of language, alongside problem-solving skills enabled the participants to do well. The mental reward of having cracked the puzzles was doubled by bespoke cupcakes with the competition’s logo" | Headmaster's Weekly Newsletter: Linguistics Olympiad -(2023) |
