University Entrance

University Entrance and Careers Support - a serious subject
For all students there are structured programmes that teach how to conduct research, formulate realistic and fulfilling goals, and to develop strategies to achieve results. The school provides a fully equipped careers library offering a range of resources including DVDs on career choices, university prospectuses, guidance and reference books for all types of careers and higher education options.  

Sixth Form students receive two careers lessons per week, plus regular sessions with members of staff to form an individual strategy to acheive their goals. There is also a programme of presentations by speakers in a range of professions, attendance at careers conventions and university visits. Every other year the school hosts a Careers Conference which attracts exhibitors both nationally and internationally.

Each Sixth Form student will create a personal action plan to include:

• Attending presentations on individual subject courses
• Training in interview techniques
• Oxbridge preparation 
• Personal development strategies
• Transferable skill building
• Conducting mock interviews - university and professional
• UCAS application advice and training
• Arranging University visits
• Attendance at Higher Education fairs
• Researching Work experience placements
