    Our Year 8 students enjoyed a fully funded day at Keele University, where they explored the beautiful campus on a guided tour, took part in an inspiring Physiotherapy lecture and got involved in a thought-provoking Higher Horizons workshop. Students also experienced a taste of university life by having lunch in the Students' Union. Hopefully, they have come away feeling motivated and full of aspirations for the future! A huge thank you to Keele University and Higher Horizons for such a fantastic opportunity!
