Careers and University Guidance
University and Careers Advice
Our aim is to ensure that every student gains a place in higher education. In order to achieve this we offer comprehensive and expert advice at every stage of the applications process.
Form tutors, subject tutors and the Head of Sixth Form, people who know each student well, are key to this successful support and advice service. We have considerable experience and a proven track record of success in guiding students' applications to universities, including Oxford and Cambridge. We have personal links with many university departments and college admissions' tutors.
We provide...
- a tailor-made HE advisory programme
- expert advice and support
- a wealth of experience
- extensive resources
All students are encouraged to make their electronic UCAS applications early. The well-stocked careers and HE library in the sixth form centre is available to all sixth formers throughout each working day as well as after school
We regularly organise HE and careers events when university teachers and practitioners from many university departments and from careers and professions come in to school to lead seminars and advisory sessions.
By working with individual students we help them to...
- develop their knowledge, skills and abilities
- make well-informed and realistic choices
- become effective decision-makers
- manage and exploit opportunities
