Students travelled to a historic city to get an insight into life at one of the country’s top universities.

Pupils from Bishop Stopford School, in Brick Lane, Enfield, visited Cambridge University, where they were taken on workshops and tours led by students and staff at Newnham College.

Student Lois Delong, who hopes to study medicine at university, said: “There are a lot of misconceptions about Cambridge. Every child should be able to visit because going to new places opens your eyes to wider horizons.”
