Uni Ready Programme
Last term we saw the launch of the Uni Ready Programme created in partnership with Higher Horizons. Students from all 3 campuses learnt about student finance and budgeting, first term survival, and results day and clearing. It was so popular we are doing it again this term!
Ancient Worlds Network
Jadon Charlesworth and Millie Houghton were selected for a bespoke Classics residential with the University of Oxford and have received glowing feedback. Huge congratulations to them!
Maths in Science Workshop
As a hub for the North West Science Network we were thrilled to host the Maths in Science Workshop over the Easter break. Students from across the North West, including 6 of our own worked with Oxford professors on how maths is used from cancer treatments to jet engines!
