the Scholars Programme Graduation

21 May 2024

On Wednesday 15 May, 14 of our Year 12 students attend a Graduation Event to celebrate their achievement in finishing The Scholars Programme at the New College Oxford. The graduation ceremony is designed to feel like a university graduation – students are called up by name, they collect a certificate, and Finley G acted as ‘Spokes-Scholars’, sharing what our students learnt and reflected on their course. The students participated in a campus tour, learnt about university life and finances, and imagine what it might be like to attend a competitive university. Congratulations to everyone for completing the programme with such outstanding results!

Your perfect job... On Day 4 of Careers Week, students looked at how their favourite subjects can shape their future. They explored skills they enjoy using, matched these to real‑world roles, and discovered new industries they may not have considered.
