Students who have made an application to Oxbridge can attend an online advice session hosted by the Wellington College Learning Alliance.

The session, which is open to all Year 13 Oxbridge applicants whose schools are in the Wellington College Student Alliance, will be hosted by Dr Ruth Lexton, Head of Oxbridge at Wellington College, and Mr David Rea, Assistant Head of Oxbridge at Wellington College.

The session, at 4.30pm on Tuesday November 4, will cover arrangements for this year’s Oxbridge interviews, the format, hints and tips and a Q&A session.

The event is the last of a series of six Oxbridge support events offered annually to schools in the Wellington College Student Alliance.

Other events include online sessions on super curricular (how important it is in supporting a student’s university application), personal statements, and a session for parents.

Last year, more than 50 students from state schools were also given Oxbridge interview practice with staff at Wellington College, with teachers covering 20 different subjects, conducting 47 interviews online and then giving verbal or written feedback to help the students prepare for the real thing.
