Dear Parent/Carer

UK University and Apprenticeship Search Event

We have been offered the opportunity to take our students to the UK University and Apprenticeship Search Event in Northampton on Friday 10th November 2023. We will leave school at 8:45am and return at 2:30pm, subject to traffic.

This event will showcase a multitude of universities, apprenticeship providers and colleges within a large exhibition hall. The event also features apprenticeship and university seminars as well as campus tours of the University of Northampton’s stunning new facilities, interactive departmental demonstrations and free student brochures with detailed UCAS application guides.
