About Us

The Apex Universities programme, one of Excell3’s flagship programmes, is a pre-university programme designed to support students to gain access to universities, particularly those deemed to be the high- profile universities including Oxford and Cambridge.

The programme has been running successfully for well over a decade

Over 95% of our student’s progress onto university

Our Target Group

The programme targets Year 9  students from backgrounds that are underrepresented in Russell Group and other top universities as well as students that are from families  without a history of attending university e.g. Black and minority ethnic students, white working class males, children in care. We particularly want to support students who have the potential to excel academically but who are at risk of under-achieving.
