Admission Assessment

Floreat is a year-long academic programme offered to Year 12 students from state schools in the London borough of Brent, Hertfordshire, Norfolk and Suffolk. The programme offers the opportunity to engage with Oxford-style humanities teaching, and it is offered to students free of charge.


The bulk of the academic content is delivered through a series of virtual academic seminars, led by Oxford University representatives and hosted after school hours. The programme also includes a residential summer school in Oxford during which students take part in a tutorial.


This opportunity suits academically able students who are interested in studying an arts/humanities programme at Oxbridge and who are keen to engage with academic ideas outside their school curriculum, ahead of applying to university the following year.


Taught sessions begin in Spring Term and end shortly after Easter. Students will have work to complete prior to attending the residential in August, during which they will receive support with the application process. Participants need to commit to attending all the seminars and the residential.
