Year 8 students spend a week at The University of Surrey For the week of 3rd February, 15 Year 8 students from EPCS spent the week at The University of Surrey in Guildford, working in mixed groups with students from 7 other secondary schools, at an Aim Higher workshop.
The 5 days of workshops aimed to give the students a taste of higher education. During the week, students completed hands on sessions in a range of different subjects, toured the campus and received advice on ...universities and apprenticeships.
The students also worked closely with a number of undergraduates from the university, and learnt more about their experiences since starting uni. Find below some pictures of our star students at the graduation event at the end of the week.
A big thank you to The University of Surrey for providing this fantastic opportunity. #RaisingAspirations #Careers #EPCSchool

EPCSchool has joined LetsLocalise! LetsLocalise, a social initiative, has come up with an innovative solution to this challenge. Surveys show that there is a real desire in local communities beyond pupils’ parents to help their local schools. Up to 60% say they want to contribute with skills, experience, knowledge, and finances.
LetsLocalise uses an easy-to-use digital platform to allow schools to showcase their priority programs. Local people can then volunteer to speci...fic programs, confident that their generosity will make a difference.
Similarly, local businesses can choose how they help, perhaps framing their social investment programs around local schools’ needs or simply making pupils aware of what the world of work is really like. LetsLocalise is a simple but groundbreaking way of enabling schools to tap into support that they have historically found difficult to access. The service is free of charge to all state schools.
Please register on www.letslocalise.co.uk ​and see how you can help. Importantly, encourage your wider family, friends, and contacts to sign up too. This way, we will not just improve our children’s quality of education; we will also build more vibrant, connected communities.
Once registered you can click on https://www.letslocalise.co.uk/about-scho ol… to find EPCSchool. Then click on the heart and person next to the logo to like and follow the school. Thereafter please click on "Pledge a minute" or "Pledge a penny" to explore our campaigns.
Thanking you in advance for your kindness. EPCSchool
