Year 9 Students Explore Higher Education at the University of Hertfordshire

We are thrilled to share the recent exciting experience our Year 9 students had at The University of Hertfordshire, organised by the University’s Widening Access team. The interactive day split our students into groups and paired them with a University student, who acted as their team leader.

Throughout the day, they worked together in various games and activities, including an escape room-style activity in a student accommodation showroom demonstrating what they had learned about higher education and the student experience, including student finance and budgeting. Their team leader also led them on a campus tour where they saw accommodation, the Learning Resource Centre and lots more.

The day was a fantastic opportunity for our students to begin contemplating their future paths and make well-informed decisions about higher education. We are immensely grateful to the University of Hertfordshire’s Widening Access team for making this experience possible. Our students have had the seed of higher education sown. Let’s continue to support them to make informed choices for the future that they want and deserve!
