All,
The Sutton Trust is an excellent oganisation, which has helped many Little Heath students move to university. I have just received the following from them.
You may not be aware that The University of Nottingham runs one of the country’s most prestigious residential programmes – the Sutton Trust Summer Schools! This scheme gives high achieving students from WP backgrounds the chance to experience life as a first year undergraduate at a top university.
Applications are now open for the 2014 summer schools, and we’d really like to receive applications from your year 12 students. The programme is completely FREE of charge, with all accommodation, food, activities and travel costs covered. Students who attend at Nottingham receive additional admissions and revision support throughout year 13 as well. Plus, those students who attend a Nottingham Summer School and subsequently enrol at the University of Nottingham as undergraduates will automatically receive the Nottingham Potential Bursary – £1000 per year for each year of undergraduate study!!
We would particularly encourage applications for the following subject streams which tend to receive fewer applications, and are therefore easier to gain a place on:
If you want to know more about the summer schools and their entry requirements then click on www.suttontrust.com – most importantly, the deadline for applications (which must be done through the website) is 10th March. I will put a copy of the brochure on the pin board outside my office.
Mr Kydd
If you are thinking of an application to read medicine, then you really do need to attend a pre-med course. There are a couple of schools of medicine which do not require them, but these are very much the exception rather than the norm. They also are key to getting work experience.
The pre-med scheme at the Royal Berkshire hospital is described below. If you have any questions about this, then please do come and see either myself, Mr Hand or Ms Vignali.
All,
A few points for this week please.
1. No assembly this week as Year Ten mocks are finishing off. Next week you will have a full formal assembly wit hMs Vignali.
2. Obviously you must now be averaging at least three hours a day outside the classroom. Please use the remaining 8 school weeks as professionally as possible. This means that in a calm way you are focused upon the following;
3. If you suffer with examination stress can you please make sure that your mentor knows. There is plenty that we can do to help you, but only if we know.
4. Please have a look at the excellent careers posts below. I have also pinned information about a careers fayre in July at Newbury Rugby club outside my office. It is orgainsed by the Education and Businees partnership for Berkshire. You might like to look at their website – http://www.ebpwb.co.uk/.
Work hard please.
Mr Kydd.
