Three students from Cronton Sixth Form have had the opportunity to spend time at one of the top universities in the UK as part of the prestigious Sutton Trust Scheme.
Michael Cook, Jodie Keillar and Chloe Birmingham all recently spent a week at an elite university studying their future specialist subject and learning more about applications to prestigious universities after being accepted onto the scheme earlier in the year.
The students were able to experience life at one of the top universities in the UK. Michael Cook, previously from Halewood Academy went to The University of Nottingham to study Medicine, Jodie Keillar, previously from Wade Deacon High School went to Durham University to study Maths and Chloe Birmingham also from Wade Deacon High School went to Kings College London to study Politics, Philosophy and Law.
Chloe said, “It was really exciting, I had only been to London a couple of times before so it was an amazing opportunity and such an amazing university, I also really enjoyed spending time in London and the visit to the Supreme Court was really interesting. I am definitely going to apply there this year.”
Each year the Sutton Trust Scheme provides successful students with the opportunity to focus on a chosen subject and attend lectures and seminars during a residential stay at one of the Russell Group universities as well as visiting places of interest around the university and enjoying a wide range of social activities during their stay.
Students who are part of the Prestigious University Programme at Cronton Sixth Form are supported with their application to this and other prestigious schemes which helps students to reach their potential and progress to their chosen university.
