Autumn is synonymous with Y13 students focusing on life beyond the Sixth Form.  It is the season to start the university application process and the all-important first step is to craft the personal statement to create a stand-out, engaging summary of “who you are” in order to win that coveted place at the destination of choice.  The links below will help students think about how to translate their ideas and thoughts onto paper.  All of our sixth form students have access to Unifrog – the complete destinations platform where they can compare university courses, review apprenticeships and Further Education courses both in the UK and overseas which supports the entire application process.
