Oxbridge Workshhops for Year 10 and Year 12

16 June 2023

As the application deadline for Oxford and Cambridge universities approaches, our Year 12 and Year 10 students have had the invaluable opportunity to take part in workshops focused on the prestigious Oxbridge institutions.

The Year 12 students were privileged to attend workshops designed to provide them with expert advice on making informed course choices and preparing successful applications to Oxbridge. These sessions offered valuable insights into studying at Oxford and Cambridge, as well as information about the admissions tests associated with these esteemed universities.

In a similar vein, our Year 10 students were recently given the chance to participate in their own tailored Oxbridge workshops. These workshops aimed to equip them with a deeper understanding of the subjects they should select for their A-level studies in order to pursue their dream degrees. Moreover, the sessions provided them with a glimpse into the world of Oxbridge and the vibrant university life that awaits successful applicants.

By engaging in these workshops, both year groups have gained vital knowledge and guidance that will significantly contribute to their future academic and professional journeys. The workshops have not only shed light on the unique opportunities and challenges of studying at Oxbridge but have also empowered the students to make well-informed choices as they embark on their educational paths.
