We start from wellbeing
A student who feels capable and supported engages more deeply with a subject, and that engagement is what carries them into the interview room and the tutorial. The most competitive offers are the outcome of this: real reading, real thinking, and the confidence to defend an idea under pressure.
Run in collaboration with Greene’s College in Oxford, this university preparation programme builds those habits over the Lower and Upper Sixth. The goal is a place at a Russell Group university, including Oxford or Cambridge, reached by students who have grown in confidence and intellectual curiosity along the way.
Close mentoring, and enrichment that reaches past the A Level specification
Weekly sessions with the Headteacher, Mr Robert Pavis, MA Ed, who personally delivers the programme
Weekly seminars, with pre-learning before most sessions, that build discursive argument and critical and analytical thinking
Profile-building guidance across wider reading, EPQ research, online lecture programmes, relevant podcasts and TED Talks, and work experience
Preparation for the specialist entrance examinations required for Law, Medicine and Oxbridge, including MOOC qualifications that add depth and evidence to an application
A one-night residential at Greene’s College, Oxford, with interview training, so students rehearse the format before it counts
