In-School Support

Our Admissions and Outreach Officer makes frequent "tours" of our Link Areas, visiting schools to offer a variety of sessions for their students.  Talks currently offered include:

For Year 13 Students:

  • Applicant support workshops
    (however, see below for our new online provision)

For Year 12 Students:

  • Introduction to Higher Education/Oxbridge talks
  • "Why Cambridge?"
  • Student Life workshop
  • Student Finance information session
  • "Preparing in Year 12 to apply to top universities"

For KS4 Students:

  • Introduction to Higher Education talk
  • "Why consider top universities?"
  • "Subject Matters - how to make A-Level and post-16
    choices to support your future plans"
  • Student Life workshop
  • Student Finance information session

For KS3 Students:

  • Introduction to Higher Education talk
  • "Myth-busting: what is Cambridge really like?"
  • Student Life workshop

 

The details of all visits and talks can be tailored to the needs of your school to fit in with other outreach and careers advice your students may receive.  We usually work with Year 9 students and above with priority for students in Year 12, but can discuss sessions for younger students if you feel this would be beneficial.  We are also happy to provide teacher training to staff involved in the UCAS admissions process, or talks for parents, and to attend higher-education related events that you are organising.  However, please note that, because of constraints on our time, we are not usually able to attend routine HE and Careers Fairs.

If you would like to organise a visit to your school, please sign-up to our regular mailing list below and look out for emails advertising dates when we will next be in your area.  Alternatively, you can always email us at access@christs.cam.ac.uk.
