Our Assistant Head Master (Co-Curricular & Partnerships), Mr Christie, was pleased to contribute a case study to the new national publication, The Missing 2000, produced by The Schools Together Group, an organisation which harnesses the power of partnerships for the benefit of all children. The report focuses on how partnerships between independent schools and state schools are part of the solution in widening access to top universities. Mr Christie writes about how SCHS supports pupils from local schools with their Oxbridge applications, especially in minority subjects. At a time when the coronavirus crisis has challenged schools as never before and Year 12 students in state schools have lost valuable learning time as they consider applications to top universities for 2021, the need for cross-sector partnership and collaboration seems more relevant than ever.
