Year 12 have Safe Drive on Monday, so no assembly. Year 13, you have an assembly on Tuesday in the main hall about the Rwanda Fund raising day. See last week’s post for a link to the recent controversial documentary.
Year 13, you should now have completed, or be completing your UCAS applications. Please see your mentors before you submit your application for approval because I am spotting lots of errors – including not putting in your current A2 subjects which means we can’t give you predicted grades!
Once you think your application is ready, submit it using pay/send and tell your mentor it is ready for their reference. If you don’t see them, they can’t do a very good reference…you will just get the best we can do given you haven’t made the effort to organise one of the most important applications you will make. I then double check it and if it is ok, I will send it off. If it needs more work, it will be sent back and you will get a text telling you to log on and correct it. If you’re not sure ASK. It saves time for everyone.
I am happy to look at personal statements, but I am getting loads at the moment, so always use your mentor first. They know what they are doing and I can’t guarantee that I will give it as much time it warrants given I have so many to look at.
Finally, get it done soon. There is NO guarantee that mentors will add references over Christmas, so don’t take it for granted that if you do it on the 19th December your mentors will immediately be able/willing to add refs during the holidays.
