Partnerships that shape your future
Our partnerships give our students access to the most exclusive opportunities
Our targeted programmes to guide students through the UCAS process from as early as Year 12 help students make the best possible application. We have a range of supportive pathways, including tailored support for students wishing to apply for medicine, dentistry, Oxbridge and Russell Group universities, as well as other institutions. Our team support students with personal statements, references, interview preparation and application support.
Students who decide to enter other training packages, including apprenticeships and employment opportunities, benefit from our Cedars Academy careers advisor. They deliver a one-to-one service and work alongside the advice, guidance and progress team to provide a range of services that will benefit students considering these pathways.
Students are all given the opportunity to attend a careers fair and university visit. We also ensure they have support with CV writing, letter writing and application/interview support through our PDC programme. In Year 12 all students benefit from a full week of work experience. This will give our students a taster of the world of work and build on their applications to universities, apprenticeship and employment opportunities.
Our Partnership with the DMU gives students access to exclusive facilities, staff and opportunities.
