We would like to encourage even more schools to get in touch to discuss ways that we can inspire, advise and encourage their students

In 2015, members of the 探花直播鈥檚 Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Schools Outreach Group (CAPSOG) worked with 134 primary and secondary schools to give students potentially life-changing educational opportunities both at school and across the 探花直播.
CAPSOG鈥檚 members include the Department of Engineering, the 探花直播鈥檚 eight Museums and Botanic Garden, the Cavendish Laboratory, the Millennium Mathematics Project, St Catharine鈥檚 College and several other Offices.
探花直播Cambridge Admissions Office鈥檚 HE Partnership organised 4,400 student interactions through in-school workshops, visits to Cambridge Colleges and departments, and residential trips to partner universities including East Anglia, Bedfordshire and Nottingham.
探花直播Millennium Mathematics Project鈥檚 work included co-ordinating STIMULUS, a programme which sees Cambridge undergraduates supporting local schools with their maths, science and computing lessons. In 2015, STIMULUS created 361 student volunteer placements which led to around 9,000 interactions with local pupils.
Meanwhile, the 探花直播 of Cambridge鈥檚 Museums and Botanic Garden hosted 2,930 students in Post 16 education as well as working with Year 7 and 8 students.
Schools in Cambridgeshire and Peterborough now also have a direct way of developing a relationship with the collegiate 探花直播 through a dedicated Area Link College, St Catharine鈥檚. In 2015, the College organised events which led to more than 1,500 student interactions.
Matt Diston, CAPSOG鈥檚 Widening Participation Project Coordinator said
鈥淭his year even more local state schools students have taken part in aspiration-raising events run by the 探花直播 of Cambridge. 探花直播opportunities which CAPSOG members offer range from giving expert advice on applying to Higher Education to doing experiments in world-class laboratories.听
鈥淲e would like to encourage even more state schools in Cambridgeshire and Peterborough to get in touch to discuss ways that we can help to inspire, advise and encourage their students as they seek to broaden their horizons and plan their futures."
