University Work Placements

Planning well in Lower 6 means you have carefully considered future career options. If you conduct work experience in Lower 6 it helps you begin to build a picture of what you might like to do in the future.

Content planning in preparation for writing your personal statement is one of the best things you can do as you finish Lower 6.

If you are sure you want to take a Gap Year then that is great. If you have a plan to do something meaningful and earn some money and enjoy a break between School and University it can breathe a real renewed enthusiasm for your studies when you pick them back up the following year.

Feedback from a sixth former who we helped with his ucas personal statement

There is no underestimating the change between GCSEs and Sixth Form. It might seem to begin with those 3 or 4 chosen subjects you have enjoyed, or a new one or two that you are genuinely interested in will be a lot less work than your GCSEs. Wrong! It is a massive step change in your thinking and planning of your time and workload.
