Tailored support is offered in the Sixth Form particularly to those students aspiring to early university application for Oxbridge, medicine or dentistry, and for the most competitive courses. Delivered through lunchtime and enrichment sessions, this include guidance and support with personal statements, preparation for admissions and aptitude tests and mock interview experience with both NKS staff and professionals from relevant industries. We also visit the University of Cambridge for a residential trip to experience university life at the colleges and students receive guidance on the application process and funding, from university outreach staff and students. Some of our students are selected to participate in university mentor and enrichment programmes to support their application.
