FirstPoint USA, a sports scholarship agency, were invited as guest speakers to share information about collegiate sport and academia in America. Pupils interested in pursuing their sporting ambitions were encouraged to look at the full and partial scholarships offered each year, which combine a full academic schedule with pro-level coaching from a choice of 26 different sports. Students will gain an internationally recognised degree whilst they hone their skills at collegiate matches, and potentially at national championships.

The evening also showcased the benefits of the options open to pupils after Sixth Form, be they apprenticeships or applying to university, with valuable information gleaned about choosing a university, student finance and their UCAS application.
