A group of our Year 10 students went on a challenge day offered to them at Cambridge University on Wednesday 9^th March.
The students joined other students from 12 different schools at Emmanuel’s College, Cambridge and spent the day gaining a valuable insight into higher education opportunities and student life in general.
English teacher at KSA  Miss Rachael Davies said the day also helped the students learn and understand more about student finance and that going to university, and in particular to Cambridge, was not just for the priviledged few and the debate for the groups of students on day was to discuss the benefits of going to university in their local area.
Miss Davies said: “Our students were great ambassadors for school and were very confident within their groups, showed good leaderships skills and put forward some points of debate.”
They also listened to two lectures, one was delivered by a PHD student at Cambridge, which looked at religion versus the universe and whether aliens would have their own religious beliefs and a god to worship.
The second lecture addressed the financial considerations of being a student and paying back student loans in the future.

The successful Year 10 Students were: Pranav Sudheesh, Joshua Pegler, Kirstyn Linning, Ishan Tailor, Lydia Shepherd, Amarjot Hayer, Aston Buckby, Aimee Parker, Emily Osborne, Salum Salum, Keegan Giles and Luke Hansen.
