We work with the Redhill Spires Programme to support academically able Year 12 students who have the potential to make strong applications to the University of Cambridge and other research-intensive universities. It is intended to provide these students with activities to stretch and challenge them academically and provide them with the advice and guidance needed to make competitive applications to higher education.
“Students in the Sixth Form are mature and focused. They act as role models for younger pupils. Many undertake extended projects and volunteering opportunities through the ‘Stellar’ programme. This helps students to strengthen their applications for their next steps, including those who choose to go to university.” - Ofsted 2022
