Develop your presentation,

interview and leadership skills. 

The Chrysalis Partnership of 26 schools from across the boroughs of Haringey, Camden, Ealing, Newham and Barnet has been built upon a common sense that there is not enough genuine subject–specific extension work for the brightest pupils, nor support for, and shared expertise in, applications to selective universities.

The initial focus of the partnership remains the Chrysalis Scheme, an ambitious project to bring a university access scheme to gifted and talented cohorts from across North London.  Pupils are invited to engage in a programme of dedicated activities, the centrepiece of which is an intensive summer school

Probably the best educational experience I’ve ever had.

An amazing opportunity to meet new people who share similar interests and acquire new skills that will be vital, no matter what your future plans are.
