In Year 12, pupils undergo a full university induction programme and have the opportunity to attend various higher education-focused events. These events are attended by the vast majority of the leading universities and gives pupils the opportunity to speak directly with admissions tutors. Specific times are also dedicated to university preparation and campus visits.
