Elite university preparation
Preparing scholars for elite university destinations sits at the heart of our work. From the moment they join, scholars follow a structured programme designed to support applications to Oxbridge, Russell Group, and leading international universities.
This includes admissions test preparation, interview guidance, academic enrichment, and extensive super curricular development. Scholars benefit from expert staff, strong university links, and opportunities to visit leading institutions. Our approach ensures that every scholar is equipped to submit a competitive application and secure a place at a top university in the UK or abroad.
Early applications support
Our sixth form attracts a large number of applications from scholars who will want to submit an early application for Oxbridge and medical courses. We are experienced and well placed to support these applications for the most competitive courses, supporting scholars to make high quality applications:
- Strong networks with Magdalen College, Oxford, and Emmanuel College, Cambridge. The majority of scholars will visit an Oxbridge college on a school trip in Year 12.
- Personal statement guidance and interview preparation from the MCSF Professional Tutor team, as well as mock interviews with Oxbridge graduates, medicine admissions experts, and Oxbridge admissions tutors.
- Application support from The Elephant Group.
- Support with registering for and completing super-curricular activities to ensure a strong personal statement.
