Raising Aspirations

Taking you to university and beyond!

Students look at results

We are deeply committed to empowering you to achieve your full potential, which is why we created the Raising Aspirations programme.

Designed specifically for academically gifted students, this programme aims to prepare you to study at leading universities.

Our team of specialist coaches and teaches offer a range of activities, events and support throughout your time at MC6, ensuring you receive the best possible preparation for university.

Destiny Brown

Destiny Brown studied Biology, Psychology, Maths and Further Maths at MC6, and secured a space at the University of Liverpool to study Computer Science.

“I really enjoying studying at MC6! I’ve had the opportunity to take part in the Raising Aspirations programme which has been beneficial for my studies and future steps in my education.

On the programme we have had many opportunities to take part in online webinars, meet with employers, take part in internships and visit Universities, including Oxford University!

“A Levels are a fantastic option if you are unsure about what you want to do. They open doors and you gain lots of transferable skills!”

Taking you to university

MC6 has an incredible track record of helping students secure places at some of the UK’s top universities, including Oxford, Durham, Newcastle, Northumbria, York, Liverpool, Manchester, Leeds and many more.

Not only that, but our students regularly progress on to highly competitive courses like Law, Engineering and Medicine, thanks to our strong academic support and university preparation.
