Since A-level results day in August we have been busy matching the Upper Sixth leavers of 2021 with OP Friendly Faces across the UK. We've successfully matched leavers heading off to Oxford, Leeds, Exeter, Loughborough, Plymouth, Reading, Nottingham and Edinburgh to name a few, huge thanks to all the Friendly Faces for supporting this important initiative, it really does make a difference to those first few weeks away from home!
Our OP Friendly Faces has been running for a couple of years now, it aims to link past pupils established at university with first year OP students. Providing a friendly, familiar face to meet up with over a coffee (compliments of the OPs) or having someone to call in their new uni town or city.
Comments OPs Secretary, Melanie Butler, "We really are delighted that we have been able to match up more of our leavers with OP Friendly Faces. We hope everyone has enjoyed Feshers Week and is enjoying their first few months away from home."
