The Admissions Tests and Interviews Pathway, including Oxbridge Programme is open to every student applying through the UCAS system. It is designed to offer exceptional support and training for all students, especially those who require an interview or preadmissions test. The programme also incorporates bespoke preparation for students applying for Medicine, Law, and all courses at Oxford and Cambridge. All students can pick and choose sessions to attend that they feel will support them as they prepare for university applications.

There are three important periods covered by the programme.

January 2026 – December 2026

All pupils applying for courses that involve an interview or pre-admissions test attend weekly sessions with a subject mentor, alongside other pupils applying for similar courses. These sessions focus on subjectspecific knowledge and skills, with a particular focus on preparing for admissions tests and interviews.

Summer Term 2026

Students who join the Admissions Tests and Interviews Pathway, including Oxbridge Programme will sit a pre admissions mock test in the subject for which they are applying. They will be expected to complete a draft Personal Statement ahead of the summer holidays. Committing to these deadlines will significantly help with preparations when UCAS comes around in September/ October.

September 2026 – December 2026

Students will continue to meet weekly with a specialist in the subject for which they are applying, in order to receive guidance tailored for the needs of their particular course. Students applying to Oxford and Cambridge universities, as well as to courses with requirements such as an interview, will work closely with their appointed subject mentor and specialist Personal Statement Tutor. Additionally, Oxbridge students have practice interviews with teachers in Warwick School to practise and hone their skills.
