​"Key to the success of Orbyts has been its mentorship aspect. Other laudable initiatives...do not assign mentors and count on school teachers to conduct such activities themselves – this would simply not have been possible given the time commitment and skills involved. EVERY student who took Orbyts... decided to take Physics at sixth form - a tremendous show of the programme’s success. Another aspect worth mentioning is what excellent material the Orbyts experience provides for the students’ personal statements when writing up their university applications – it makes them really stand out. We only have “Orbyts alumnae” doing university-level STEM subjects after September 2020."
