The Benefits of Attending a Summer School
Date:
The Teachers’ Guide to University 2027 is created for the teachers and careers advisers, to help them provide effective support in making an informed choice about university. It features contributions by over 80 university representatives from across the UK, along with expert voices from outside the sector, such as educator and TV personality Baasit Siddiqui. The guide is supported by HELOA, a membership group for university advisers.
My article on the benefits of attending a summer school explores the different types of higher education summer schools available, the evidence supporting their impact on attainment and progression, and the ways they help students develop confidence, a sense of belonging, and the skills needed to succeed in higher education. It also highlights how teachers and advisers can use these opportunities to support students’ educational aspirations and decision-making.
