On Wednesday, October 19, our year 12s enjoyed a fabulous morning at the University and Apprenticeships Fair hosted at Edgbaston stadium.  There were many exhibitors from universities and apprenticeship providers across the country and it was really pleasing to see so many of our students engaging with representatives and discussing with each other their options.  Students were also given the option to attend seminars on topics such as personal statement writing, UCAS applications and Russell Group Universities.

This was a really important experience for all involved as it gave them the opportunity to ask questions and find out as much information as possible to help them inform their decisions going forwards, even if it meant ruling out what they previously thought they wanted to do.  Feedback was great from the students and, having spoken to many exhibitors myself, we are hopeful about scheduling some visits to the school in the near future.
