The English Faculty was delighted to host 26 students from all over the country for the annual Sutton Trust Summer School last week

Staying at Gonville & Caius College for the week the students had a packed programme of lectures, classes and other activities designed to give them a taste of the life of an English undergrad. Students also completed an individual project; choosing topics from Keats to Plath, Virginia Woolf to Taylor Swift, Vile Bodies to The Beekeeper of Aleppo they had the chance to further develop some of the skills they learnt in class with a team of English PhD students and present to their peers.  The whole group enjoyed an afternoon of Macbeth at Shakespeare’s Globe as well as taking part in activities organised by the Cambridge Admissions Office along with students attending the summer school in other subjects.
