Higher Education and Apprenticeship Fair
Held in the Sports Hall, this event attracts more than 80 higher education providers, including 16 Russell Group universities, alongside American institutions, creative arts colleges and specialist gap year organisations. The day features tutor-led lessons and talks that focus on life as a university student and the art of choosing the ideal university and course. The highlight of the event is the fair, where students engage directly with university representatives and apprenticeship providers, gaining insights into campus life and collecting valuable prospectuses.
During the evening, parents and carers are welcome to attend with their student to support and participate in a wide range of talks, covering topics such as making informed university choices, applying to Oxbridge, and accessing higher education with additional needs.
These presentations are from the 2026 evening session and are available for download.
