Gifted and Talented – Aim High Programme

Our Gifted and Talented Programme is designed to support those students with the potential of achieving high grades at A Level and Vocational Diploma. The focus is on helping them prepare for their applications for highly competitive degree courses at Oxford, Cambridge and the Russell Group Universities. There are also opportunities for students preparing for high level Apprenticeships to practice their interview skills.

The individual elements of the Academic Enrichment package are open to all students. Students are identified based on their GCSE results, recommendations from school and referrals from the teaching staff at the College.
