Providing Extra Challenge for our Students
Targeted at providing extra challenge for our students, the Aspire programme here at Altrincham College involves students who have already demonstrated high levels of academic attainment and those students who display a real talent and aptitude for a particular subject.
Aspire brings these students together to experience a 'stretch and challenge' opportunities programme across each year group, with the aim of ensuring our students access the very top GCSE and A Level grades and develop highly ambitious aspirations for the future.
The programme will offer many opportunities for students including; university events both in and out of school, university campus visits and study skills events which specifically focus on achieving top GCSE grades.
Furthermore, students will participate in a ‘cultural challenge’ during their own time, which aims to develop confidence and allow students to gain new exciting and challenging experiences.

University of Oxford Talk - 2022
A number of students from the Aspire6 team, visited Altrincham Grammar School for Boys in January for an exciting presentation by the University of Oxford. The presentation focused on progression to Higher Education and Oxford and how this might be accessed. There was Q&A session with a current Oxford student and a ‘virtual tour’ of Corpus Christi College.
