Discovery Day (for local non member schools)

This years event will be on the 25th June 2013. The Discovery Day is for Year 6 pupils. Schools are invited to bring a maximum of 5 children along to the event. The aim is to involve those that would be able but unlikely to consider higher education in the future. This could be due to family circumstances, lack of aspiration or misconceptions regarding university. Booking for this event is essential, places are given on a first come first serve basis.
