UCAS Progress

A very big thank you to all all tutors and teaching staff, and to all applicants.  Thanks to the references provided by staff and tutors, and proactive involvement in the process by applicants, we are making substantial headway.  60 UCAS forms have been sent, and 36 are at some stage in the pipeline.  Please keep talking to me and to your tutors if you have any concerns. I can guarantee that all forms which have been paid and sent now will be sent on to UCAS, if not all quite by Christmas, certainly by the national deadline on 15th January.

However, I want to be very clear that if you want to apply through UCAS this year, you must do so now. The school deadline was 17th October - precisely because we knew just how much time it takes to get each individual form sent.  If you do not pay and send by Wednesday 14th December, I will not be able to send your form to UCAS in this application cycle - you will need to apply in your gap year. I will always make exceptions to this rule if there are special circumstances, but you will need to communicate closely with your tutor and with me.  Please do not expect to come back in January having just decided to apply, and to get your form sent off. We will not have time to get everything ready for 15th January.
