Gap Year Schemes

Last year 16% of our students took a gap year before going to university. Some work locally to save money before going to uni while others do a wide range of amazing things from running their own catering business to coaching Hockey in South Africa, studying French in Paris, volunteering at the World Guiding Centre in India, or working on a cattle ranch in Australia, a bungee-jumping retreat in New Zealand or as a Dinghy Instructor in Portugal.
