Thirty students from Year 10 were invited to attend a University Experience Day at the Buxton Campus of the University of Derby.

Students had the opportunity to attend Culinary Arts and Spa Management taster sessions and to learn more about progressing to university.

The day proved to be a very informative day and very much a learning curve for our students. 'It was a great experience'; 'Exciting, new and different' and 'It was a good insight into the University of Derby' were just a few of the quotes from students at the end of the day.

Following on from this day, 80% of the students that attended are now going to consider attending University in the future.

A great day was had by both students and staff alike!
