Year 11 Students Experience Oxford University on 'Aspiring Higher' Trip

As part of the Aspiring Higher trip, thirty Year 11 pupils had the incredible opportunity to explore Oxford University, learning about its entry requirements and the expectations for joining any of its 26 colleges.

The day began with a critical thinking exercise and a wonderful lunch at Regent’s Park College, followed by an insightful Q&A session with current Oxford students. In the afternoon, we visited Jesus College, where pupils toured its facilities and discovered the many academic and extracurricular opportunities available.

Our students showed great enthusiasm, asking thoughtful questions and gaining valuable insights into how they can enhance their subject exploration in various ways. Their maturity, curiosity, and engagement were highly commended throughout the visit.

A special thanks to Mr. Narisetti, Mr. Willis, and Ms. Fraser for accompanying the trip, and to Miss Telford for coordinating with Regent’s Park College, where she completed her Master’s degree.
