Eyes on the Prize

Year 9 students travelled to Cambridge to participate in an event  designed to promote forward thinking for everything from GCSE choices to career ideas.

The Eyes on the Prize experience attracted almost 2,000 students from across the region, with a careers and education fair, tour of the campus and talk on student life.

For the Bassingbourn students it was a chance to learn more about apprenticeships, post 16 colleges and university.

BVC students agreed that the day had been a great success, commenting:

“It was interesting to learn how much I could earn when I leave school if I work hard and get the right job,” Hadyn.

“The trip was fun and a very good experience. We learnt a lot about handling money and saving for university.” James.

“The best thing was the opportunity to find out all the things I can do in the future.” Connor.
