Higher Education Guidance
Support for UCAS applications begins in Year 12 and continues right up until students send off their applications in Year 13. We encourage our highest achieving students to aim high and apply to the best institutions. They have had much success to this end as a result. We also emphasise the importance of students being realistic in their university choices, applying for courses they are capable of achieving the grades required. We aim for students to feel supported and confident throughout the process of applying, making them aware of the vast array of courses and opportunities available to them.
