Delight as three students score Cambridge University summer school places
The Ladder for the Black Country has congratulated a sixth form college on the achievement of getting three of its students into the University of Cambridge's extremely competitive summer school programme.

The three Cambridge hopefuls who have been accepted for the online and in-person places join a further 10 students who have won places at Durham, Nottingham, St Andrews and University College London – the highest number to date.

"We work closely with the Sutton Trust to provide our students with summer placements at top universities including Oxford and Cambridge. We are delighted that more of our students than ever have been successful in getting places at the Sutton Trust summer schools. We know they will benefit enormously from the experience.”
