S6 UCAS
We are now coming to the schools deadline for sending in applications. It is very important that you go and
seek out your Guidance Teacher to discuss your reference. There are far too many applications sitting
incomplete. If you still wish to apply to University you must go and see your Guidance Teacher by Tuesday.
The closing date for UCAS is 15th Jan but many courses are almost full so make sure you do something about
this prior to the end of term.
If you have any major issues please discuss with: Ms R Walker or Mrs Gow.
Pupil Council New-Corridor Rule:
Further to concerns voiced during recent Pupil Council meetings and subsequent discussion with the Senior
Leadership Team please note:
When moving between classes and/or social areas pupils, whenever possible, should always keep to the left.
This is important as it reduces congestion.
This includes keeping to the left at the atrium stairs.
Chance to win House Points for all pupils:
