Exploring New Horizons: Year 12s Dive into Super-Curricular Research at HE+ Conference
On Wednesday, ten of our Year 12 students joined peers from across the Southwest for another installment of the prestigious HE+ Conference held at the Kings of Wessex.
The enriching academic programme is designed to ignite a passion for super-curricular research and equip students with the analytical and evaluative skills essential for success at research-intensive universities, including Oxford and Cambridge.
The conference wasn't just about lectures and presentations; it was a hands-on, collaborative experience. Students were given blank boards at the launch event, a canvas for their intellectual curiosity. And this week, they returned with these boards transformed, showcasing an impressive array of in-depth research topics. Our accompanying photo captures the vibrant exchange of ideas as students present their findings to their groups.
Our students demonstrated remarkable depth and breadth of knowledge. This experience not only honed their research skills but also fostered a deeper understanding of the academic rigour expected at top universities.
We're incredibly proud of their dedication and the insightful work they produced. The HE+ conference has undoubtedly inspired them to pursue their academic ambitions with renewed vigour and confidence.
