UNITED IN DIVERSITY
Introducing Wadham College. NewVIc's Oxford University Link
LGBT flag was flying high at Wadham College when our students visited last week. While many Oxford colleges struggle to admit a diverse range of students, Wadham College is committed to the cause of widening access of education for all students.
Like NewVIc, Wadham values the importance of diversity and believes that drawing its student body from a wider cultural and social base drives standards up, not down. Wadham College works closely with NewVIc to help our students with their admissions process and encourages them to apply.
This year NewVIc will become the Newham Hub for Year 13 interview support sessions for all local students who have applied to the college.
