Following the Summer School you will have access to additional support to help you through Year 13.

This includes:

e-Mentoring

During the course of the Summer School you will be paired with an e-Mentor, who is a current undergraduate student at the University. They will provide you with ongoing advice and support throughout A2 study and the UCAS application process until spring of Year 13.

Revision resources

Also in Year 13, you will be given access to an online revision resource. The site is broken into different A-level subjects, and within each of these you will find materials for your specific exam board. There are revision notes/diagrams, past exam papers with assessment guidance, practice tests, podcasts of lessons and much more!

Reunion event

A reunion event will be held in the Spring of Year 13 to celebrate your achievements and catch up with friends and e-Mentors from the Summer School!

Programme participants who enrol at the University of Nottingham as undergraduates will automatically qualify to receive the Nottingham Potential Bursary worth £1,000 per year for each year of study.

The whole programme is offered completely free of charge and travel costs are reimbursed.
