University of Cambridge trip

On Thursday 16th November, students from Years 11 and 12 at RHS visited Robinson College at the University of Cambridge, along with Mr Peacock and Ms Bonny. The purpose of the trip was for students to explore what making an Oxbridge application is like, as well as to see what life is like studying at Cambridge.

The students were a credit to themselves and the school throughout, asking intelligent and thoughtful questions. A highlight of the day was a visit to the group from Emma Masters-Oca, a former Ruislip High Head Student who is currently in her third year studying Law at the University of Cambridge. Emma spoke about her experiences applying from RHS, and gave her top tips to the students, who were inspired by her story. We were incredibly impressed to hear that Emma had come 5th out of 250 Cambridge students in her second year Law exams - testament to how Ruislip High students can not only get into the top academic institutions in the world, but can also thrive at them! After a series of talks, the students had the chance to tour Robinson College and other parts of the university in the afternoon.

We are confident that they are as inspired as the students on last year’s trip, following which several students made an Oxbridge application!
