UCAS
We are proud that every year a significant number of our Year 13 students go on to Further Education. In 2021, more than 80% of our Year 13 students went on to join a range of colleges and universities across the country to study an array of courses. In 2022 it was 92% and in 2023 73% - well above the national average. This year we have had students go to study: Medicine, Law, Criminology, Nursing, Computer Science, Accounting and Finance, Illustration, History & Politics, Pharmacy, Mechanical Engineering, Biomedical Science, Quantity Surveying, Sport & Exercise Therapy and Veterinary Nursing amongst many others.
Our Director of Post-16, Mrs Griffiths brings her eleven years of experience to leading the UCAS application process.
We are proud that we know each of our students well and have the facilities to address their individual needs. All students, regardless of their choice of course, college or university are offered support from their Personal Tutors, Learning Leader and our independent Careers Advisor.
