The high fliers programme is aimed at Sixth Form students who have aspirations to attend Oxbridge, Russell group Universities or apply early for UCAS such as medicine or dentistry. The programme is also aimed for high attaining students who might pursue a top degree apprenticeship. Every other week students will be challenged on their critical thinking and problem solving skills. Throughout the programme students will also take part in debates that are designed to get students thinking outside of the box and to prepare them for their early university applications

On Thursday, our Yr12 students also had a speaker from Stone King Solicitors deliver a talk about careers in Law, apprenticeships and different Law degrees. Thank you Mr Coley, our students had a very informative time!
