Oxford University Day for TKAT Year 11s

This week, we were delighted to take over 40 Year 11 students on a day's experience at Oxford University exclusively for TKAT secondary schools.

Some of the groups travelled by minibus, and the rest of the schools went up by train.

The day was hosted by St Hugh's College, who are one of the leading Oxbridge colleges in the drive to widen university access to state school students.

The St Hugh's team works with lots of schools and students every year. They were really impressed with our students, who were all fantastic ambassadors for our schools and our trust.

The event started with talks about doing super curricular activities alongside your studies, choosing the right course and university, and applying to Oxbridge.

This was followed by a Q&A session and a tour of the college and its beautiful grounds with current undergraduate students.

One of the highlights of the day was when one of the undergraduate students recognised the blazer and badge of his old school - Kemnal Technology College!

He was really happy to meet students and staff from his old school, and talk about the opportunities that Kemnal Technology College had given to him.

After lunch, there was an opportunity to do an academic taster activity at the Ashmolean Museum or at the Natural History Museum.

The students and staff really enjoyed the event. One teacher said: "Thank you to TKAT for organising the event. It was a great day, and the students learnt a lot."
