We provide our students with relevant and up to date information about university courses and possible career options. Our Head of Careers works together with Connexions to offer advice to students who need help in making their career choices. In the spring term of Year 12, all students on Level 3 courses attend a Higher Education Convention to gain an overview of the whole spectrum of university courses on offer. Our students are then guided through the process of choosing a university course, drafting their personal statement, preparing the application form and submitting the final UCAS application through the Electronic Application System. Parents and students are invited to attend a Post-18 evening in July where university speakers are available to give further advice on choices, student finance and life as an undergraduate in general. Students wishing to apply for Oxford, Cambridge or Medical School and for courses which have high entry requirements are given extra support and advice on making the best possible application through our Aim Higher group. Our links with the Eagle Project at St John’s College in Cambridge and with the Oxford Access scheme play an important part in this process. After applications have been completed, all students are offered interview training sessions to develop their presentation skills. When offers from universities start to come in, advice is also available on the vital question of which offers should be accepted and which declined and a Help Desk is available in school on A-Level results day.
