WIDER OPPORTUNITIES

Arden promotes a culture of self-development, providing numerous opportunities to build the extra qualities universities and employers want, beyond the classroom. We encourage you to be intellectually curious and extend your interests in subjects and careers in which you feel an aptitude and affinity.

Students are expected to take part in at least two hours of enrichment activities a week.

Some of the activities currently on offer are:

Volunteering
Lesson Support
Work Experience

The Extended Project Qualification (EPQ) is also offered. This is a fantastic opportunity to develop interests and knowledge beyond the classroom. It is becoming increasingly valued as part of a Post-18 application.

DESTINATIONS

There is an ever increasing diversity of destination for school leavers. The support is there for whichever destination you pursue.

If it is a place at University you are seeking, the UCAS support is well established, including a one-to-one meeting with every student. We are part of the Solihull Oxbridge Network; have a fantastic seminar programme for Medics, Dentists and Vets; and our Futures provision supports all students, whatever their pathway.

There has been a sharp increase in students pursuing the apprenticeship route. Students in recent cohorts have taken up places on higher apprenticeships including JCB, IBM, National Grid, Chartered Surveying and Accountancy. The opportunities on Degree Apprenticeships and Sponsored Degrees are increasing every year, with past students currently studying on the PWC Flying Start Degree programmes and an Aerospace Engineering Degree Apprenticeship.

We provide dedicated support to students who may be consdering apply for Oxbridge, Medicine, Dentistry or Veterinary Science and who have to submit their applications early (UCAS early entry). We will be holding a remote introductory session for these students on Friday 25th June as part of the Live Q&A sessions. (Details and instructions on how to join can be found on the Live Q&A Sessions Page.)
