The Horizons Programme
EIC's success in placing students in top universities is celebrated through events like Speech Day and the annual 'Roll of Honour.' This achievement is attributed to strategies like The Horizons Programme, complementing the rigorous academic curriculum. Aligned with advice from top universities, the course aims to cultivate widely read students with knowledge beyond A Level syllabuses. The goal is to shape serious-minded young adults preparing for university, including public speaking, leading tutorials, and effective communication. Horizons students are encouraged to listen critically to others.
