Year 13 students enjoyed an educational visit to Edge Hill University's Higher Education Fayre this week. The Sixth Form team realise that choosing the right university is a big decision and wanted St Julie's sixth formers to consider their future careers and next steps. Together with 1-2-1 UCAS interviews, regular guest speakers from local universities and the opportunity to attend Open Days, St Julie's Sixth Form students are well equipped to make informed decisions about their future

Over 80 Higher Education providers were present at the event allowing students to learn about a range of universities across the UK and what they have to offer.  Edge Hill student ambassadors and advisors were also on hand to answer their queries about student support, scholarships and accommodation amongst other things. They also had the opportunity to tour the campus to see the existing and planned facilities on site.

Staff and students were impressed with the range of universities represented and benefitted from campus tours and small  group activities. They even managed to get a sneak peek at the Learning Resource Centre and student accommodation to see what studying and living away from home could be like in addition to sampling free food!

Over the coming weeks UCAS appointments with the Sixth Form Team will recommence as we continue to support our students with university, employment and apprenticeship applications.

Many thanks to Mrs Lyons, Sixth Form Progress Leader, for organising the visit and to Mrs Ainscough and Miss Jackson for accompanying the trip.
