Thursday 28th June was the first ever Higher Education to be held at this school.
The evening was very well attended by over 80% of students who were accompanied by their parents. The aim of the evening was for the Year 12 students to explore their future options and to consider the benefits of Higher Education. In so doing, it is intended that students make an informed choice about their future.
The evening began with a formal welcome and a presentation from UCAS on the application journey / process. Following this, there was a carousel of talks from external speakers on key issues and considerations to do with finance, student life and advice with regard to selling yourself in applications.
Our thanks go to the following speakers for their expert guidance:
Alison King UCAS : Application Advice & Guidance
Mike Nicholson Oxford Admissions Tutor : University Life
Gabrielle Bell Oxford Brookes : Financing your Studies
Project Trust - Taking a Gap Year
Next stage in making plans for the future will be the
'Fit for Work' Conference
for Year 12 to be held on Friday 13th June
