We are delighted to share the fantastic news that three of our Year 12 students - Holly, Hannah, and Ruby - have successfully secured places on an exclusive Oxford University residential, arranged through the Liverpool Aspire programme. This remarkable achievement is a testament to their hard work, ambition, and passion for learning.

The Liverpool Aspire programme is a prestigious initiative designed to support high-achieving students from the Liverpool City Region in accessing opportunities at top universities. Established to promote social mobility and raise aspirations, the programme works closely with Oxford University to offer students first-hand experiences of higher education at one of the world’s leading institutions. Through mentorship, academic enrichment, and immersive residential experiences, Liverpool Aspire empowers students to pursue their academic dreams and break down barriers to elite university education.

Holly will be taking part in the Language and Literature residential, where she will explore linguistic analysis, literary theory, and creative writing workshops. Meanwhile, Hannah and Ruby will attend the Chemistry and Biochemistry residential, engaging in hands-on laboratory research, lectures from leading scientists, and discussions on cutting-edge advancements in their fields. This opportunity will allow all three students  to gain invaluable insight into university-level study, experience life on campus, and develop the skills and confidence needed for future academic success.

At St Julie’s, we are immensely proud of our commitment to encouraging young women to pursue STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) careers. We continue to challenge stereotypes and champion the achievements of our students in these fields. Each year, STEM-related subjects remain the most popular university destinations for our Year 13 students, demonstrating our dedication to fostering a passion for science and innovation among our young women.

We are incredibly proud of Holly, Hannah, and Ruby for securing these prestigious places and representing St Julie’s at Oxford University. Their success serves as an inspiration to all our students, proving that with determination and ambition, anything is possible. We wish them the very best for their time at Oxford and look forward to hearing about their experiences!
