We’re pleased to say that we’ve already had bookings rolling in for our next national conference; Above and Beyond, which will be held again on 4th, 5th or 6th December 2018 at Cefn Lea Park in Newtown.

Here’s a reminder as to why you should book your place…

Students:

• How will you go above and beyond the academic confines of your A-levels to gain a place at a top university?
• How will you stand out when you write your personal statement?
• What steps do you need to take to apply to the most competitive courses?
• What questions do you have about university life, finance, preparing for your career while at university?

Universities are looking for students that have gone above and beyond to demonstrate their subject passion. At the conference, students from Seren hubs across Wales will take part in Academic Masterclasses that will provide a new perspective on broader areas of study beyond the A-level and Welsh Bacc curriculum. You’ll also have the opportunity to speak directly with leading universities from the UK and overseas to answer any questions you may have about student life, finance, scholarships, bursaries and getting career-ready while at university.

Professionals:

• Have you thought about how will you undertake your professional learning and demonstrate your strong leadership skills within your profession this year?
• How will you equip yourself with all the information required to support your high fliers and their progression to university?
• How will you navigate university admissions tests and plan stretch and challenge support to help your students reach their full potential?

With new sessions, the professional development strand of the Seren conference has been designed to assist you in helping your A-level students and to help you become champions of university access within your schools and colleges. The conference will also will enable you to meet other professionals who are also going over and above to support their students and to share best practice.
