Testimonials
Before working with Study Higher I didn’t know what to do for my personal statement and how to apply to university but now I do! I would definitely recommend these sessions to other people and think every student should sign up and get involved with what Study Higher offers.
Student, (Sustained mentoring programme)
The fact there is such a broad range of activities and bespoke support (e.g. for our CLA - Children Looked After) means our students are served so well and they gain a much wider view of the world and are inspired by enjoying a range of different experiences.
Teacher
Following bespoke visits to a number of Post-16 and Post-18 providers, organised and funded by SH, I feel able to decide which route I want to move through and, discovering the academic entry requirements provided me with the focus and determination I need in school to make that wish become a reality.
Student
Students have felt more confident in learning about their future pathways and also how to best support the process.
Careers Lead
It was extremely eye opening and great fun, I just wish it had been for a longer period of time!
Student (Summer school)
Last year, through SH support, a Y11 female student successfully secured an Apprenticeship in a field which broke gender stereotypes but not only that, with only one position available, she was one of 700 applicants!
Teacher
As the event was at Oxford University I wasn't going to go as I didn't feel 'clever enough' but I am glad I went as I now understand that Oxford University can be for people 'like me!'
Student
Student engagement in learning has improved as students have a clearer picture of the future and the requirements needed to engage in their chosen post 16 & 19 options
Headteacher
The most useful thing about the mentoring was learning about university and getting personal advice on my future from someone who has done a law degree and experienced things that I will in the future.
