The college is delighted to be able to offer you this opportunity, which is open to any student who can show evidence of having the appropriate criteria to join. This national scheme gives you the opportunity to:

* Meet, work and have fun with others who are of a like mind.

* Join in with the fastest-growing area of Academy activity - on-line study groups in maths, ethics & philosophy, classics, the Virtual Book Club and e-learning opportunities

* Access on-line support

* Obtain free careers and university information, including talks from university admissions tutors

* Have the opportunity of residential & non-residential programmes and visits eg poetry and science events

* Apply for scholarship and special opportunities such as summer schools

We are also able to offer an AS level in Critical Thinking as an enrichment opportunity for those students who have the potential to benefit from this opportunity. In order to help you reach your potential, 1-1 support is, of course, available in all subjects.

A range of visits, guest lectures, and careers events are arranged each year to help students as they progress after College, and we have an enviable record of students obtaining places at the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge.
