Integrity - Ambition - Determination

Year 12 students from The Elms Academy joined three other United Learning Sixth Forms for an inspiring and immersive taste of university life at King's College London. The day was packed with engaging subject taster sessions and lectures, and they got to chat to current university students and academics, who shared valuable insights, personal journeys, and practical advice about higher education pathways in both STEM and humanities. Their stories helped to demystify university life and encouraged students to think ambitiously about their futures. 👏 A big thank you to the Social Mobility & Widening Participation Team at King’s College London for providing such an enriching experience! about higher education pathways in both #STEM and #humanities. @ernestbevinacademy @paddingtonacad @walthamstowacademy #unapologeticallyambitious #theelmsacademy #educationwithcharacter
