On Tuesday 22 November 31 Year 12 students visited The Emmanuel College at Cambridge University for the day.
Students had the chance to learn more about university life as well as the application process with workshops delivered by our guide for the day, Anita Magee. Students also had a tour of the College and the chance to see the facilities, as well as sampling the lunchtime menu. The day ended with a final workshop which explored study skills, including research and essay writing, all relevant for current courses and for the future.

On Tuesday 22 November 2016, 31 sixth form students travelled to the Emmanuel College at the University of Cambridge and were welcomed by Anita Magee, who presented a slideshow filled with valuable information, and advised us on university applications. Anita detailed what it is like to attend Cambridge, and told of accommodation, timetables, and the general everyday life of a student.
After the presentation, we were guided around Emmanuel College, and got a feel of what it would be like to attend the university. Despite the weather being against us, we continued through until lunch.
In the afternoon, we were told of research methods used, and were able to test these ourselves with texts given to us. It is safe to say that the skills we learned within this session were very valuable, and no doubt we will apply these to our exams.
All in all, an amazing trip to Cambridge, filled with tips and information we are extremely grateful for!
Thank you to our teachers for organising the trip, and a huge thank you to Anita for welcoming us today (and providing free biscuits!)
