Aspirers Programme

At The Cooper School, we are determined to continually provide opportunities and support for all students to excel, both educationally and socially. With that in mind, we aim to ensure that our mostable students fulfil their great potential and leave here, after their Sixth Form education, to lead successful lives.

We run a programme called KS5 Aspirers for our top performing students (based on their GCSE performance) and encourage and support the students to achieve the highest grades at A Level which will enable them to make successful applications to Russell Group universities.

Students are invited to attend or participate in a number of different events across the academic year including:

• Mentoring and advice from current Year 13 students

• Sessions with ex-students, including successful Oxbridge/Russell Group candidates

• Extended Project Qualification (EPQ)

• Essay competitions – English, History and Sciences

• Oxbridge taster days and residential at Peterhouse College, University of Cambridge
