Support for Teachers
We are always keen to offer support for teachers in link areas with Oxbridge applications. Ultimately, we want you to feel empowered to support your students aiming for Oxbridge and we are happy to discuss what might work for your school.
Lincoln College Teacher Conference
When: 16:00 on Tuesday 15th December, to 17:00 on Wednesday 16th December 2026
Who is it for: Teachers, or leaders with responsibility for progression, working in UK state schools.
Lincoln College is pleased to open applications for our free one-night, one-day CPD conference event for state school teachers and school leaders with responsibility for progression. Join us for an exciting programme which aims to provide up-to-date practical information and guidance relating to every stage of the Oxford application process, from reference writing and supporting personal statements, to admissions tests and interviews.
The event also has the broader aim of providing teachers and colleagues with guidance and resources to help them support and encourage their pupils in all higher education applications, not only applications to Oxford.
We particularly welcome colleagues from non-selective state schools who have little or no experience of the University of Oxford, pupil progression to the Russell Group or Higher Education in general.
The event is entirely free, including accommodation on the night of 15th December, lunch and dinner in our fifteenth-century hall, and a networking drinks reception. We are also pleased to be able to offer travel reimbursements of up to £65 per person for those travelling from outside Oxford.
The programme for the event (subject to minor variation) will include:
1. An introduction to the University of Oxford and how it differs from other HE institutions
2. How to set up a schools-based enrichment programme for all pupils, raising attainment and enhancing future academic success
3. Writing the teacher reference, what high tariff universities are looking for
4. The Oxford admissions tests, supporting your pupils to prepare
5. The Oxford academic interview, supporting your students to prepare (including a mock interview demonstration)
Please register your interest in attending the conference here. Someone from our team will follow up with you directly in October.
This event is always extremely popular, so we recommend signing up as early as possible to avoid disappointment
