On Tuesday, a group of 15 Year 9 students took an exciting step towards their future aspirations by visiting the University of Sussex in Brighton as part of the Inspire 3 Project.
The visit gave students a valuable insight into university life while helping them make informed decisions about their upcoming subject options. Throughout the day, students took part in a range of engaging taster sessions designed to broaden their understanding of different academic pathways.
In the English session, students explored the creative world of Flash Fiction, developing concise storytelling skills and learning how powerful writing can be achieved in just a few words.
The Politics session challenged students to think critically about free speech, encouraging thoughtful discussion and debate on a topic highly relevant in today’s society.
During the Medicine session, students gained a fascinating introduction to healthcare by learning how to take a patient’s history — a key skill for any future medical professional.
All students engaged enthusiastically in each session and demonstrated curiosity, maturity and excellent behaviour throughout the visit. Staff at the university praised the group for representing their school impeccably and embracing every learning opportunity offered.
The Inspire 3 Project continues to provide meaningful experiences that raise aspirations and support students in making confident, informed choices about their future education.
