This year, we will be hosting three different residentials between 18th-20th March 2024. Each one will be for a different school and will take place over two days. We will offer students and staff free College accommodation and food in our dining hall. There is no cost associated with the residential.

The purpose of this residential is to show Year 12 & 13 students what life at Oxford is like, and to help those interested make a competitive Oxbridge application. By spending time in Oxford, experiencing college life, attending academic taster sessions, and having myths debunked students can see if Oxford is right for them. We will also host workshops on personal statement writing and Oxbridge interviews, so that students and staff can see what Oxford tutors are looking for.

We are updating the residentials for students in 2024 so that teachers will be applying on behalf of their schools as opposed to students applying as individuals. We expect to receive a lot of applications and may therefore not be able to offer every school the residential.
