“Leaf was even better than anticipated. It was great that my daughter had the opportunity to delve deep, explore, discuss, broaden knowledge, perspectives, etc.”
“My daughter thoroughly enjoyed the Leaf programme; it will have a lasting impact on her. I didn’t have much knowledge of Leaf beforehand but am very impressed. Thank you to the fantastic team behind it.”
“My son was thrilled with the experience, especially the relationships established with ambitious young people outside his usual circles. The ability to remain in contact and tap into their experiences will be useful going forward.”

“It probably helped me with my Cambridge interview. I was discussing the whole week with academics and other like-minded people… when I came to do my interview I felt more confident and was prepared.”

“As well as being an excellent opportunity to explore how students can drive positive social change, Leaf can be used effectively in personal statements and interviews to demonstrate how you meet university selection criteria. Supporting Leaf Fellows is a rewarding experience for me.”
