“This is a fantastic event that just gets better and better each year - we especially appreciate that all the alternatives for students after they leave are represented, and not just the unis. Keep up the good work!”

David Giles – Post 16-Coordinator – Sir Herbert Leon Academy

“Thank you for all of your help organising the event. There are a number of our students who are now considering going to uni who hadn’t even thought it would be possible so thank you.”

Danielle Mcleavy – Head of Year 12 Energy Coast UTC

“We found the event and seminars really helpful. Students who attended all went away enthused and inspired. They managed to speak to a range of exhibitors and took away some invaluable information relating to personal statements and student finance, which they received first hand (instead of just another school presentation).

Thank you.”

Philip Jones – Careers - Wilmslow High School

“The event was outstanding – the students found it all really informative and teachers enjoyed it too! Will certainly come to any future events.”

Stefan O’Gorman – Head of Sixth Form William Morris Sixth Form
