I will ask a final question. We need to move more towards the student experience. Returning to my own teaching career, certain schools did tasters.

Particularly in first year when kids came in, they did a taster programme up to Christmas and it gave them the benefit of discerning whether they wanted to do something on the arts and social sciences side versus the scientific side. Are there any comments on tasters and trial subjects?
