UCAS
Students
need to know what their predicted grades
are
Once the form is completed, your daughter/son
“pays and sends” the form, which transfers it to the school system so that we can add a reference. We can’t add our reference until this happens.UCAS charges an administration fee at this pointOnce we have added the reference, the application is sent to UCAS who send the applications on to the universities your daughter/son has applied to.
Unconditional Offers
are nice but be careful!Slide13
All our students get plenty of advice
From Form Tutors, who can help and check personal statements up to the deadline given
From Student Managers
, who check the accuracy of the application form and contact students individually if there are any errors
This
should ensure that your son/daughter picks appropriate choices that will result in some achievable offers from universitySlide14

Current information on finance…
This may change!
Most universities charge
£9000 per year
for tuition fees. Students can apply for a loan through the
Student Loan Company to pay these fees, as well as a maintenance loan.Repayment does not start until the April after graduation, and only when the student is earning over £21,000 a year.Repayment is based on how much a student earns, not how much they owe, and is 9% of what is earned over £21000.For example, if a student is earning £25000, the repayment would be £360 per year, 9% of 4000If there is still money outstanding after 30 years, the debt is written offSlide16
