Higher Education Evening
Each year we invite both students and parent/carers to a Higher Education Evening. The evening focuses on Post 18 choices including applying to University, Careers and apprenticeships.
In addition, we offer students and parent/carers the chance to listen to representatives in workshops from a number of Prestigious Universities. Other workshops include student finance, and talks from former Ashmole students.
