Regional Outreach
As part of the University of Oxford's ongoing commitment to engage with schools, it has developed a scheme to simplify communication between the University and its Colleges and all schools in the United Kingdom. Each Oxford college is now linked to a number of Local Authorities to ensure that each school has a named first point of contact within the University.
Corpus Christi has been linked with the following Local Authorities:
Derby
Derbyshire
Manchester
Oldham
Salford
Stockport
Tameside
Trafford
We work with schools in our Regional Outreach areas to raise awareness of the University of Oxford and the undergraduate admissions process. This work can include school visits to the College or a visit to the school from the Access and Admissions Officer. All schools are encouraged to participate in our Schools Science Prize and all post-16 schools within the maintained sector are invited to attend our annual Teachers' Conference.
"It is fair to say that the Access and Admissions Officer has been instrumental in assisting our school in raising both an awareness and the aspirations of the students. Not only has she organised the teachers' conference to support my level of awareness and understanding but she has gone the extra mile to facilitate events at Corpus Christi and attend a session at the school to raise the profile of Oxford and the application process. I am indebted to the Access and Admissions Officer for the support offered to myself and the school."

Please note that the Regional Outreach scheme is not intended to replace any existing contact a school may have with Corpus. But it is our hope that these arrangements will improve relationships between schools and Oxford and improve the communication of information and good advice for both teachers and students.
