Year 12 Students Day at the HE+ Conference

Thirteen of our Year 12 students attended the HE+ conference at Kings of Wessex Academy last Wednesday, taking part in the prestigious programme designed to support applicants aiming for highly competitive university courses. The HE+ scheme, run by Cambridge University, helps students develop the skills and confidence needed for success in applications to top institutions. 

As part of the conference, students presented posters they had prepared in advance, delivering their ideas in small group settings. This activity allowed them to build their presentation skills while engaging in academic discussion with peers. In addition, they participated in a workshop focused on strengthening university applications and preparing for potential entrance exams they may encounter.

The programme will continue with a residential course at Cambridge University in July, offering students a valuable opportunity to further immerse themselves in academic life and preparation for higher education.
