More Able visit to The University of York

On Thursday 21st April Year 9 students visited The University of York. The trip was designed to enable the highest achieving students to experience university life and the expectations of further education, with the aim to raise their aspirations. Students took part in workshops looking at university housing, the courses that are on offer country wide and the practicalities of financing university. They had the opportunity to look around all the campus facilities and speak to student ambassadors. The day was a fantastic opportunity with students fully engaging and asking lots of questions, with one student declaring after the campus tour "this is the most magical place I've ever been, I don't want to leave".
