The Year 9 Aimhigher residential at Edge Hill University was a great opportunity for our pupils and was designed to give our young people a real taste of university life.

At Edge Hill participating pupils got the chance to try out different academic subjects and join in lots of social activities. Pupils also stayed in student accommodation and worked alongside student advocates from Edge Hill..

Comments from students who have taken part in previous programmes included:

"It was one of the best experiences of my life - a truly amazing experience!"

"I loved it! I'm now 100% sure I'll go to uni!"
