Impact
On the 30th of November, Year 11 students from Nova Hreod Academy were invited to attend a higher education awareness workshop with the University of Reading in conjunction with Study Higher.
The workshop focused on all aspects of University life including the numerous courses, costs, student loans, UCAS points and entry requirements through an interactive team game. Edit from the University of Reading went over the key issues of ‘Why I should go to University’ in more detail describing the benefits of pay, transferable skills and improved career prospects. Students were also directed to useful websites:

Nova Hreod Academy commented that they are committed to raising the aspirations of their students to ensure they are well equipped to make the right choices about their futures and chosen career pathways. With Year 11’s now making their college applications it is important they consider their next steps in higher education as well as further education.
