UK HIGH SCHOOLROAD SHOW
MARCH 2017
THE STUDENT WORLD
The High School Road Shows are an excellent way to meet students and
build relationships with careers advisers in the very best schools across the
UK, by way of overseas study fairs and presentations. These schools include
public, private, grammar and state funded schools in targeted regions of the
UK, that we feel have the best profile for overseas study.
Developing a presence in UK schools is fundamental to a successful
awareness raising and student recruitment campaign. In the build up to the
Road Shows, our dedicated UK School Liaison and Operations Manager,
Anna Birbeck, visits the schools to prepare students for the event, often
giving an assembly talk to students in years 11, 12 and 13.
Each Road Show lasts 3.5 days and the group of universities typically visits
up to 12 schools, with access to more by collaborative hosting, where parents
and students from schools in the local area are also encouraged to attend.
The number of universities from each country is limited to 6 per Road Show,
to ensure our events maintain a truly global feel and aren’t dominated by any
one country.
We take care of the planning, organisation and management of all aspects of
the Road Shows to ensure your visit is a comfortable one!

catering to ages 13 to 18 (8th to 12th Grades, Years 9 to 13 in the UK system). It has
Approximately 675 students, 350 in the Sixth Form. Malvern College was one of the first in
the UK to offer the International Baccalaureate Diploma programme in parallel to the
traditional A-Level courses; Currently, the IB/A Level division in Year 12 is approximately
50:50.
Although a traditional British boarding school, the student body is highly international, with

Nigerian, American, Italian and Russian. 80% of the student body boards in eleven boarding
houses; day students also belong to these houses.
Results: A Level 2016 A2 results: 36% A*-A grades and a 96% pass rate ; IB 2016 results:
Mean 36.6 from 85 students. 25 scored over 40 points.
Preparation for US universities: The vast majority of Malvern College students intending to
apply to US universities come to the school for the Sixth Form from outside the UK and have
typically had little or no application preparation prior to joining the college. The majority of
students applying to US universities are non-native English speakers. The College has
recently introduced a small team to act as ‘School Counselors’ to provide advice and
guidance on the US application process. As is typical in the UK, all these counselors,
including the Head of University Applications, are full-time teachers and also have other
responsibilities within the school.

SAT in May and June 2016 - SAT Reasoning Average: 1336 (range 1180-1510)

Abbots Bromley School is set in 53 acres of stunning grounds and adjoining beautiful
countryside, It was established 141 years ago with the Christian ideals of ‘Faith, Unity and
Vision’ and an aim to provide an education for young people in an environment which would
cultivate pride and excellence in every aspect of life. It takes its name from the quintessentially
English village in which it resides.
Abbots Bromley believes it is important for its students to develop the moral integrity to
become responsible global citizens, so that they may take their place in society with
confidence. They are confident that anyone associated with the Abbots Bromley learning

their skills and talents in safe surroundings. Abbots Bromley prepare young citizens off the
future, men and women who will be employed all over the world, and so take a proactive
approach to ensuring students are presented with all higher education options available to

Denstone was begun in 1868 and completed five years later as the flagship independent
boarding school of the midlands. The school is set in a site of more than one hundred acres of
rolling Staffordshire countryside, close to the Derbyshire border.
The College combines its rich tradition and history with a forward thinking approach to
education. It’s aims to promote the highest standard of educational achievement in an
environment where students are encouraged to challenge expectations and realise their true
potential.

Stafford Grammar was founded in 1982 following a decision to establish a selective,
independent school to provide a liberal education with the ethos and quality of a grammar
school, in response to the merger of the town's grammar schools.
The purpose of Stafford Grammar’s Sixth Form is to equip students with the necessary skills
to enable them to make informed and educated choices in their life. Reaching their potential
in academic studies gives students greater flexibility in their choice of higher education and
employment, however, Stafford Grammar believes that academic success alone is not
enough and that students must also continue to develop their personal skills and show they
have widened their experiences and responsibilities. Stafford Grammar therefore encourages
active involvement in school life as it believes that leadership and teamwork skills should be
nurtured and development.
The Sixth Form has established a formidable academic reputation as a centre of excellence.
It’s students are supported to become independent learners and are provided with guidance
and advice to manage their own time effectively
Stafford Grammar is the highest achieving co educational school in the area. In 2016 75% of
A Level results were A*-B grades and 50% were A*-A grades, consistent with previous years,
The expertise of academic staff provides the best possible support for students with their HE
or career aims. The extensive tutor programme is tailored to the needs of the students and
Stafford Grammar aims to develop self-confidence and encourage all students to actively
participate in the life of the whole school and the local community. As well as some useful
basic language programmes and as well as the typical UCAS guidance and higher education
fair, the tutorial programmes incorporates information and advice on studying abroad.

Wolverhampton Girls High School is one of the best state schools in the country, regularly
achieving exam results which place it at the top of the league tables. It recently converted
to academy status which means it manages its own budget, rather than being controlled by
the local authority (essentially ‘grant maintained’).
Competition for entry is fierce as over 1000 girls apply each year, and of these 1000, only
145 places are granted. Entrance is determined purely from entrance examination results -
the school does operate an appeals and waiting list system, but the chance is very slim.
Entry after this point is very limited and does not fully open again until sixth form. Sixth
form admission is then granted on the basis of a variety of factors such as GCSE predictions
and results, as well as performance in an interview.
Although this school is not a fee-paying school, it mirrors the structure, operating a ‘house’
system whereby students are assigned to a house on arrival and will be with that house for
the duration of their stay, competing against other houses in competitions (sporting and
non-sporting) throughout each school year.
Wolverhampton Girls High was previously awarded the status of Language College in the
UK's Specialist Schools Programme and recent A-level results placed the school in fifth
place in the performance league table for all grant maintained schools in the West Midlands.
This school is also among the top schools for university admissions and has an increasing
number of students wanting to study further afield, with particular interest in Canada.

One of the highest achieving schools in the country Shrewsbury High School (SHS) was
recently ranked first place in Shropshire in the Independent School Councils league table.
However, though SHS has always prided itself on its success in A levels, it values broader
education and enrichment with equal importance.
Special recognition/subject areas: The Sixth Form provision at SHS has just been
recognised with a nomination at this year's ‘Times Independent School of the Year
Awards’. It has been nominated for the award on the basis of the quality and breadth of
the school’s provision for Sixth Formers. The SHS Sixth Form ‘Tripos’ which provides girls
with a wide-ranging combination of A levels, Extended Project Qualifications, Diplomas
in Languages for Business, Arts awards and more, received the honour in the Times
Education Supplement. The School also received a second nomination recognising its
Bio-med programme, which prepares would-be medics for University and its annual
Bio-Med Conference. This programme won an award at the Summer’s Education Business
Awards ceremony in July.
SHS has a new Head of Careers who is eager to respond to interest from students in
studying abroad, particularly Europe and the USA.

Ellesmere College takes pride in the fact that it's focus is on the achievements of each and
every student according to his or her abilities, not just in the achievements of the brightest
and the best. Ellesmere is famously forward looking and innovative - you'll never catch this
school clinging to tradition for its own sake or resting on its laurels.
The Sixth Form at Ellesmere is hugely successful and offers full time courses for over 200
students. Ellesmere College provides teaching and learning of the highest quality and prides
itself on the high performance of successive generations of students who have ensured that
the College is noted both nationally and internationally for its achievements. This
international reputation means the college is popular with international students, some
attend for summer school and others become full time boarders.
Recent A Level results saw 60% of all grades being A*/B grades. IB results were also
excellent with 75% of students achieving more than 30 points, which is equivalent of A*AA
grades at A Level.
The range of degree courses that Ellesmere students choose to pursue is a reflection of the
many interests and opportunities they experience at the College from Economics to
Engineering to Fine Art. Candidates have been successful in receiving offers from a wide
range of Russell Group universities, but some choose to study further afield. The College has
a consistent track record of students who chose to study abroad. Recent destinations have
included: Milan (Design), Marbella (International Hospitality Manage (Dentistry), Vienna
(Transcultural Communications), Holland: Amsterdam (European Economics), Rotterdam
(Econometrics), USA: Chicago (Art), New York (Art); South Carolina (Liberal Arts), Germany

The Royal School Wolverhampton is a state Boarding School, so only charges fees for boarding
(tuition fees do not apply). The school has a strong sports focus - it has a specialist Swimming
School that competes (and wins) in international competitions including the World
Championships, European Championships and the Youth Olympics.
The Royal School offers a diverse and vibrant Sixth Form experience. The sixth form school
welcomes students from other schools in the region as well as Sixth Form boarders from
overseas in the European Union. The school combines a specialism in the STEM subjects of
Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths with a broad range of A-Level subjects. The
average class size is just 15, allowing everyone to receive the individual attention they deserve,
and resulting in strong, positive relationships forming among peers and between students and
teaching staff.
High academic achievement is only part of the story. Since, Universities and employers are
increasingly drawn to applicants who can demonstrate leadership, determination, resilience and
flair, The Royal School excels in this style of ‘leadership education’, providing students with
ample scope to thrive in cultural activities, competitive sports, and entrepreneurial endeavours,
as well opportunities to travel and make a valid contribution to the wider community.
Every Sixth Former is expected to play an integral part in school life – be it through our house
system, by mentoring younger pupils, or by getting involved in charitable and
community-minded activities. It is these high expectations that sets The Royal School apart
from other Sixth Form providers in preparing students for a bright and prosperous future and it
has been evidenced that universities and employers are looking for rather more than GCSE and
A level grades.
The Royal School has a consistent track record of students who go on to study higher education
abroad. Recent overseas leavers destinations include:
• Bristol British Colombia, Canada
• Drexel, USA
• Hong Kong
• Long Island, USA

Ripon Grammar School is a co-educational, selective grammar school in North Yorkshire,
England and has been serving the community of Ripon for well over 450 years. This rich
heritage and tradition inform much of its daily work today, but it also prides itself on being
forward looking and leading educational progress in the 21st Century.
Ripon Grammar is one of the best-performing schools in the North of England; in 2016 100%
of students passed their A levels and over 76% achieved A*-B grades. The school was graded
"Outstanding" in its most recent Ofsted (Office for Standards in Education) report and is
ranked in the top four per cent in England. It has also been recognised for the progress sixth

Harrogate Ladies College belongs to a family of UK Independent schools, established in the
1890s. Today it retains a strong sense of history but with a forward thinking, progressive and
modern outlook.
The college has a vibrant Sixth Form community of around 140 girls both day and boarding.
Life in Sixth Form is a little bit different from the rest of College; Academically, students are
encouraged to work, think and study more independently and there are opportunities for
greater responsibility and leadership within the wider school community. Sixth Form
students have the benefit of a dedicated Sixth Form Centre which is designed to offer a little
more freedom and to support a more independent way of life.
Harrogate Ladies’ College is a largely non-selective school, although its excellent public
examination results might suggest otherwise. Studying at Harrogate Ladies’ College typically
adds one grade to estimated exam results in every subject – a factor which is considered by
many to be the best indication of a school’s success. 2016 was no exception in consistency of
excellent exam results; The number of A* grades more than doubled, a third of students
achieved a clean sweep of 3 or more A*-A grades and 66% of all grades were A*-B, with
students achieving 100% A*-B grades in a total of 10 different subjects.
The range of university courses that Harrogate Ladies College students go on to study is
incredibly diverse and reflects the wide range of A level subjects that offered. University
Destinations and courses for 2016 included International Studies in Prague, Architecture in
Hong Kong and the Netherlands, Economics in the USA and Melbourne and Engineering
Science in Germany.

QES has a tradition of scholarship and care dating back over 400 years, with its present
popularity founded upon a broad and imaginative curriculum geared to individuals, excellent
results, impressive standards of care, and a reputation for a friendly, relaxed, yet purposeful
atmosphere.
QES was previously a private boarding school but that gave up its independent status after
the local education authority agreed with their counterparts in neighbouring counties that
QES should provide the grammar school needs for the whole area. Since this time, QES has
continued to be a well-respected and high achieving coeducational school at the forefront of
evolving educational practices and was the first secondary school in the county to convert to
Academy status, which means it is directly funded by the Department for Education and
independent of local authority control, providing more freedom and autonomy.
At its last inspection by OFSETD (quality governing board in the UK), QES maintained it’s
‘outstanding’ rating, making it the most sought after school in the area. Among the top 25%
of schools in England, the recent A Level pass rate was 98%.
QES has a large 6th form with over 350 students. The fact that the Sixth Form Leadership
Team consists of Head Boy, Head Girl, Deputies and Assistants who are trusted to prepare
and present presentations, attend and participate in governor’s meetings, and help shape the
school for future years, is testament to the type of education offered.
QES has an excellent track record of enabling students to gain offers for the top universities
in a diverse range of highly competitive courses, abroad as well as in the UK and is a school
well known to a number of International universities, in particular in the USA and
Netherlands.

high. Three-quarters of A- level results are regularly A* - B grade and the vast majority of
leavers go on to their first choice university, many of them to the most competitive
institutions. Some venture further afield and a few students each year are offered places with
International universities.
