Choices Day – Y9 Campus Visit

This campus experience helps learners understand key aspects of life and study in higher education (HE), whilst linking their futures in HE to GCSE choices which will be a key consideration for all Year 9 students. The visit includes a comprehensive information, advice and guidance (IAG) session, a campus tour and workshop activity. 

Learners participate in activities so they can fulfil their potential. They will: 

• Gain a greater understanding of education pathways to further and higher education.
• Recognise the impact of GCSE choices on future pathways.
• Be introduced to life as a HE student.
• Work collaboratively to demonstrate their understanding of where their future choices could take them.

This session also aims to increase learners’ aspiration and motivation to achieve well in school and provide learners with a greater sense of belonging in HE.
