[Montypig]

Anyone got any experience of this please - it seems to be a sort of networking thing for students, but otherwise I was a bit unclear on what it was trying to achieve. Thanks !

@Montypig I actually know someone who's daughter was in one of their summer courses in 2022. Said it was good - interesting topics and really good teachers from winchester. Also had lots of fun with an international mix of peers participating. They showed me her report card/transcript thing that she got when she finished - TBH, was really surprised at level of detail and accuracy! Better than some we get from school LOL :/

I think they basically run short courses over school holidays... 1 or 2 weeks from what the website says. (I actually found their YouTube channel more helpful than the website - better sense of what its like 'on the inside'...)

We're thinking about it for next year but haven't decided which dates. I was told they're pretty responsive so will probably get in touch.

My son was just recently accepted into their Easter programme and from what I can tell it should be a really rewarding experience for him. I hadn't heard of it before and it was actually my son who brought it to my attention (which is rare for anything that could be considered 'extra work'!)
If you like I can try and remember to update with any feedback once he's gone through the course :)
