It was a fabulous day, aiming to showcase both Pembroke College and Cambridge as a world class university. As well as presentations on the courses on offer and top tips on the application process, the students were given a tour of the college by second year maths student Josh. Not only were they overwhelmed with just how "normal' he was, but also with the beauty of the college and its wonderful old buildings. After a memorable lunch in the Great Hall, was an interactive lecture on linguistics, delivered by a PhD student. It gave everyone a real insight into what a Cambridge seminar would be like and our students did us proud - really getting to grips with the academic challenges posed and answering really hard questions with enormous confidence and skill! The students said: • "It was such a wonderful experience. I have never been to Cambridge before and it really opened my mind to the options open to me" • "It was a great day" • "I really enjoyed the day - it completely changed my perception of Cambridge. It was beautiful" • "The food was amazing" Mrs E Brooker, Director of The East Northamptonshire College (TENC) added: “They are a great group of students who are now setting their sights on outstanding achievement at GCSE and beyond.” ABOUT US DATES & TIMES OFSTED REPORT EXAM RESULTS EXAM RESULTS 2018 EXAM RESULTS 2019 EXAM RESULTS 2020 EXAM RESULTS 2021 POLICIES & PROCEDURES DATA PROTECTION THE GOVERNING BOARD PARENT GOVERNOR ELECTIONS 2021 FACILITIES LETTINGS CATERING UNIFORM FINANCIAL INFORMATION EQUALITY AND DIVERSITY PUPIL PREMIUM YEAR 7 CATCH-UP PREMIUM NEWS NEWS ARCHIVE NEWSLETTERS Admissions/ New Students Homework and Reporting Dates and Times Work with Us/ Talent Pool Letters WisePay Finedon Road, Irthlingborough, Northamptonshire NN9 5TY T 01933 650496 E enquiries@huxlow.northants.sch.uk W https://www.huxlow.northants.sch.uk/ Headteacher Paul Letch Back to the top School Web Design by FSE Design
