Oxbridge Trip

On Tuesday 18th June, 13 year 10 students, accompanied by Ms Blochard and Mr Jones, went on a trip to Coventry to listen to a presentation on the Oxford and Cambridge Universities. Upon arrival, we, along with 4 other schools, sat in the lecture seating area, and were told by the speaker that we would be listening to 2 separate presentations.

In the first half of the information evening, the presentation focused on the differences between the Oxbridge Universities and any other university, as well as the benefit of going to one of these universities. We were all given some very insightful information and we were also eager to make contributions and answer questions.

After a short break mid-way for a drink and a biscuit, we listened to the second half of the presentation, where the lady leading the evening spoke to us about super-curricular activities, and how they are essential to those like us who would like to go to one of these universities.

In all, the visit to Coventry proved to be extremely interesting to all of us, and we were pleased to be given additional information and guidance regarding the requirements one needs to fulfill to go to an Oxbridge University, both in and outside of school. I would also like to thank both Ms Blochard and Mr Jones for taking us on this trip, which we all thoroughly enjoyed.
