We employ an Oxbridge lead, Ms Myers,  who works across both North and East Dulwich Sixth Forms to ensure Sixth Formers are given expert advice on every step of the application process. The school has close links with St Anne's College in Oxford and Pembroke College in Cambridge, and we run visits, talks and workshops with admissions tutors. We have students successfully applying to both Oxford and Cambridge each year for a wide range of subjects.

Medical applicants benefit from our MedSoc group led by our KS5 Science Link Ms Bateson. Students attend this every week to build an understanding of careers in medicine and the application process.

All students who are interested in applying to highly selective courses are encouraged to participate in a broad range of super-curricular activities and we run a programme of events throughout sixth form to ensure they are well prepared for the application process.

‍

The programme includes:

• A series of talks from teachers and visiting speakers addressing students on a range of challenging academic topics and debates.
• Super-curricular academic clubs in current affairs, medicine, debating, maths and physics, history, poetry etc.
• University visits and lectures.
• Workshops and one-on-one advice on writing a strong personal statement and completing UCAS.
• Support with preparing for the Admissions Tests which are taken for Oxbridge and Medicine.
• Support with interview skills, including arranging mock interviews both in and out of school.
