FANTASTIC OPPORTUNITY FOR YEAR 12 STUDENTS – FREE SUMMER SCHOOL

AnchorApplications for Sutton Trust Summer Schools are now open!

This is a fantastic opportunity for Year 12 students to gain an insight into university through spending a week with one of 13 leading UK universities studying one of over 40 different subjects and meeting like-minded students from across the UK.

The Sutton Trust, is a charity that champions social mobility. Applications for our free university and apprenticeship summer schools are NOW OPEN!

The new Apprenticeship Summer School will allow students to explore degree-level apprenticeships as an alternative to university by attending interactive skills sessions and networking with top employers like Accenture, PwC and Coca-Cola EP.
Students will be supported—either in-person or online

Last summer, over 6,000 young people benefitted from our summer schools and digital platform, and we want your students to be next. Summer school students gain confidence and the skills to navigate the Higher Education system and make informed choices about their future. You can see how students in your region have benefitted from our programmes on our Impact Hub.

Despite being online, the other students and I were able to work extremely well together—taking part in games, quizzes and much more. I completed the programme feeling that I had been extremely productive.
