Here they learnt more about thinking ahead to potential decisions about university, had a tour of the college (and lunch in Hall), visited the Pitts Rivers Museum (where they had an artefact-handling and discovery session), and then a Q&A discussion with current students at the university. It was a great and, indeed, inspiring day!
