As part of our ongoing work to raise aspirations and broaden horizons, a group of our #HeCan students enjoyed an exciting and immersive day exploring university life first-hand. This opportunity forms a vital part of our commitment to personal development and preparing students for life beyond school.

During the visit, students took part in a campus tour, gaining a real sense of the layout, facilities, and atmosphere of university life. They explored different types of student accommodation, helping them visualise what independent living might look like. One of the highlights of the day was learning about student societies—where students not only discovered the range of opportunities on offer, but also got creative by designing their own society based on their interests and passions.

Experiences like this are crucial in helping students make informed decisions about their futures, particularly those who may be the first in their family to consider higher education. By demystifying university life and showcasing the many personal, social, and academic benefits, students left feeling motivated and empowered to pursue their ambitions.

This visit aligns with our academy’s wider personal development strategy, ensuring that students are equipped with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to take the next steps in their educational journey.
