News Higher Education Preparation Programme Week 05.06.2025

This week the Lower Sixth were engaged in a series of Higher Education preparation activities.

There were a wide variety of university preparation sessions delivered by Godolphin and Latymer staff. Those interested in Medicine and Dentistry were hard at work preparing for UCAT and we were delighted to welcome a representative from Newcastle University Medical School to advise on applications. Law applicants began their preparation for the LNAT and took part in a workshop with Old Dolphin Leela Jadhav. US applicants engaged with sessions on the Common Application and Supplementary Essay and there were sessions on making applications to Canada, Europe and the Dual BA between Trinity College Dublin and Columbia. Some pupils chose to take part in mentoring sessions, aimed at developing their communication skills and honing their interview technique. In addition, Ms Graham gave an inspirational talk about the value of a Study Abroad year at university.

On Thursday evening we were fortunate to be able to welcome Katharine Radice, transition and participation adviser at Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge to discuss transition from school to university with parents and pupils. She was able to guide students on strategies for long term success as they prepare to leave school.

Pupils are in a good position to research their higher education options with many planning on attending university open days in the next few weeks.
