UCAS DISCOVERY EXHIBITION

It was fantastic to spend the day at the UCAS Dis-
covery event with so many of our Year 12 students
last week. Well done to those of you who em-
braced this opportunity and were so proactive in
speaking to the wide range of universities, employ-
ers and apprenticeship providers. It’s been great to
see you making use of your freebies while also tak-
ing time to digest the huge amounts of information
you collected.

To support further with your research into future

destinations, there will be dedicated time on
Wednesday 5th July for personal statement writing.
This will give you the opportunity to draft your ini-
tial ideas and gain feedback from the Sixth Form
team.
