University of Oxford Trip – Monday 22nd January 2024 (Selected Year 7 Students ONLY)

Dear Parent/Carer

I am writing with regard to the trip to the University of Oxford on Monday 22nd January 2024.

The University of Oxford regularly scores as one of the top ten universities in the world. University is one of several pathways’ students can pursue, and we believe that giving the students the opportunity to visit Oxford is a great way to encourage our young people to start thinking about their future now in preparation for when they need to make decisions.

This trip will take place on Monday 22nd January 2024, with the coach leaving Hanham Woods Academy at 8am and aiming to return at 5pm.

The itinerary for the day is as follows:
