Year 10 Higher Education Taster Day

Higher Education taster day at Edge Hill university

Yesterday our Year 10 students visited the award-winning Edge Hill University for a Higher Education Taster Day. An introduction to Higher Education, the day included a tour of the 160-acre Lancashire campus, student motivation workshop and undergraduate Question & Answer session which gave pupils an insight into university life and the opportunity to view the potential degree courses open to them as they begin to consider their choices at A level and beyond.

A new experience for the students who begin their final year at Bridgewater School in September before entering Sixth Form, the visit proved hugely successful and a welcome opportunity.

“I learnt about courses that I didn’t know existed.” Ezha Nadeem

“It gave me a better idea of what university is like.” Rosie Edwards
