Bridgewater Academic Society announced

“You are everything someone is searching for. Never settle.” R.H.Sin

We are very excited to introduce the first Bridgewater School Academic Society; a group of young people in Years 11 to 13 with aspirations to progress to some of the most competitive degree and higher level degree apprenticeship courses, at the most renowned universities.

The society will facilitate extra opportunities for students to fine-tune their skills in research, critical analysis and harness a passion for academic exploration beyond their A-level subject content. With a specific focus on entry to Russell Group universities, we will unpick the unique and distinguishing characteristics that suit our students individually and tailor a series of tasks and research-led activities that will build an impressive portfolio for each. Students will be guided to consider the finer details of their future as they make concise links between their subject matter and the specific degree course or apprenticeship they wish to begin and, ultimately, their career in such industries as engineering, law and medicine.

The school already collaborates with a number of leading universities to deliver a programme of enrichment and students will be further encouraged to expand both their skill set and their passion for their subject specialism.

The programme begins with a trip to Oxford on 7th-8th February 2023 which will take in a tour of the Ashmolean Museum, a learning session at the Oxford University Museum of Natural History and a guided tour of Corpus Christi College.

Details of further projects will be provided as completed.
