Support We Can Offer

We're proud to have worked for over 10 years with 35+ of the country's top performing schools, including Wycombe Abbey, Sevenoaks, Downe House, St Mary’s Ascot, Latymer Upper, Dulwich College, and schools across the Girls’ Day School Trust, helping to prepare their sixth formers for Oxford and Cambridge applications.

We work with each of our partner schools to create a programme that fits their students' needs. Our programmes are bespoke, and designed to complement in-house support. We can deliver support in your school, digitally using a secure learning platform or invite your students to one of our central London locations.

ADmissions testS preparation

We’ve seen how admissions tests have become a crucial part of the application process, especially since the scaling back of AS levels and the subsequent loss for the universities of these exam indicators. Oxford and Cambridge are increasingly using these entrance exams to filter and de-select candidates for interview, and we’ve seen how capable students are falling at this hurdle. We support students with rigorous skills development and practice for admissions tests.

Interview Skills Workshop

We know applications to Oxford and Cambridge are based on skills, not just knowledge - so we give students the chance to analyse the skills admissions tutors are looking for, and practice approaching difficult questions, so they can maximise the benefit of their later practice sessions. We normally run this session earlier so that students can practise applying the skills covered in their one-on-one practice interviews.

MMI Medicine Support

Multiple Mini Interviews (MMI) is a format of admission interview used by an increasing range of Medical Schools. It involves students rotating around different work stations, completing a series of short time-delimited tasks. We support students with practice MMI circuits, designed and delivered by medical professionals in our network. These practice sessions help students practice in a range of scenarios, including: debates on medical ethics, medical role playing, reading comprehension, calculation and data interpretation. Most students on this course opt to spread the interviews over 2-3 weeks, giving them time to act on feedback between sessions.
