In analysing how these issues affect businesses, we develop a more entrepreneurial mindset.  

“On Monday 6 May, everyone is encouraged to enter this mass participation mile taking place along Oxford’s High Street. Think of it like a London Marathon style event, but through the beautiful streets of Oxford, finishing on Iffley Road at the site where Roger Bannister made history 70 years ago.”

There are lots of ways you can choose to celebrate after your exams, without impacting our environment or local community.

Celebrate your achievements sustainably, just as many students have chosen to do in recent years. 

We’re asking everyone to be considerate and respectful this term, to give students the best chance in their assessments.

We ask you to keep noise to an absolute minimum on weekdays from 9am to 6pm until Friday 21 June, as even if you have finished, other students will still be sitting their exams.
