Our year 10 students recently had the exciting opportunity to visit Magdalen College, University of Oxford, for a day designed to inspire and broaden their understanding of higher education at one of the world’s most prestigious universities.
Upon arrival, students attended an engaging introduction to Oxford, where they learned about the university’s history, academic opportunities and admissions process.
Throughout the day, our students were able to meet and speak with current Oxford students during a question and answer session with student ambassadors. This gave them the chance to ask questions about studying, social life and the journey to university.
Students then enjoyed a guided tour of Magdalen College and Hartland College, exploring the stunning grounds and historic buildings while gaining a real sense of university life. A highlight of the day was having lunch in the magnificent hall alongside the student ambassadors, offering a true taste of the Oxford experience.
The visit concluded with an interactive debate led by university lecturers, encouraging students to think critically, share their ideas and experience the style of learning often found at university level.
The day was both informative and inspiring, helping students to raise their aspirations and consider the exciting opportunities available through higher education. We hope this memorable experience has encouraged many of our students to see university as an achievable and rewarding future pathway.
