“The programme helped me make choices about my future and about what I wanted to study at university, as well as supporting my education so I could be confident in my skills when applying for university.

“The different styles of teaching assisted me in discerning which subjects I would enjoy at university, and talking about careers and aspirations in such depth allowed me to find the right path for myself going forward.

“Through the talks we received about revision, about work after school and adult life, and most certainly the talks about university, I was able to be confident enough in my own skills and ambitions to apply to Oxford and know that I wanted to study law there.

“The programme coached me and supported me all the way through my application process (by way of advice and setting up mock interviews etc) and made it much less stressful than it would have otherwise been, ultimately leading me to be successful in my application.”
