This week we welcomed the University of Northampton into school to deliver a session on Higher Education for our students.
During the session, students learned about the benefits of going to university, different types of courses and qualifications available, how to choose the right course and university, an introduction to UCAS, and an overview of student finance including tuition fees, maintenance loans, and repayments.
The session also focused on helping students understand the skills and opportunities university life can offer, such as employability skills, placements, and enrichment activities.
To further support families, the University of Northampton is hosting an online parent and carer event on Tuesday 24th February, focused on understanding student finance. This session is designed to help parents and carers better understand how student finance works and how to support young people making decisions about higher education.
