On 22 June, one hundred Yr 12 students attended an HE conference at the Professional Development Centre. The students were from all our post-16 settings so it was an opportunity to meet one another. The conference was opened by Zina Etheridge, the Deputy Chief Executive.
The conference comprised of a series of workshops that were delivered by varied universities. Oxford’s Lady Margaret Hall, Haringey’s link College, delivered a workshop on how to apply, and other universities led workshops on other aspects such as how to write a personal statement, deal with the tests and chose a subject. There was also a talk from St George's Medical School on the application process which is a competitive one.
The day proved a useful one for all students who afterwards felt more confident on completing the university application process.
