As part of our Raising Aspirations our Year 7 cohort visited Cambridge and it’s colleges.

What a truly wonderful day, both students and staff found it both fascinating and inspirational.

We enlisted the services of a company called ‘Cambridge Tours’ who have been organising tours for a number of years.

Our fantastic guides were once either; graduates of the colleges or have been lecturers and are now retired. These inspirational guides volunteer their time to take groups of students around the city and talk about the history of the University – the students were enthralled by  their stories of the past and present.

Their invaluable knowledge surrounding the University was invaluable and the students were eager to learn more about this famous University and were equally impressed with the  famous people who used to attend one of the many colleges.

It is always wonderful to hear the positive feedback from both students and staff; even more amazing is to  hear students say ‘I want to go to Cambridge’ this shows how successful the trip was as they are now aspiring to achieve their goal.
