Experience

Providing hands-on experiences at one of our university, college, or employer partners

Enable

Supporting subject interests and attainment, and helping learners make successful transitions to the next level of study

Information, Advice and Guidance Core Programme Now Available

What other schools have said

We have seen traditionally very low aspirations with regards to progression to Higher Education. Higher Horizons are an invaluable addition to the work we do to raise aspirations, remove barriers and reduce the attainment gap for our students.
