BVGS is seeking to find ‘friends of the school’ and alumni to deliver presentations or lead seminars based on their own personal experiences. We would be delighted to welcome past speakers and are always eager to meet new ones.
These seminars have made a significant impact on our students. MedSoc was the first of our socieites, and since the introduction of the society we have seen record numbers of successful applications to medical schools. We look to grow our other socieites to experince the same success rate as MedSoc. Even if you don't see your subject area listed below, please don't hesistate to get in touch if you would be interested in sharing your experinces and career path with our students.
If you would are interested in contributing to any of these groups, would be able to support in another way, or might be able to set up a potential contact, please e-mail, David Goodwin (Head of Sixth Form) at: d.goodwin@bishopveseys.bham.sch.uk.
We would also be interested to hear from any alumni who have any experience of ‘Academic Interviewing’. For a number of years, we have held an 'Annual Interview jamboree' as part of our build-up to Oxbridge ‘Interview Season’. Our students who are applying for courses, which include an interview, value the external support gained by this ‘Practice Interview Session’. This year’s event will be taking
place on Friday 8th November 2019. If you are interested in participating in this event, please get in touch.
We look forward to hearing from you.
