There is a clear link between
attendance and achievement in the
Sixth Form.
Students need to attend everything
on their timetable, including private
study.
If they are absent they will bring
home an absence form for you to
sign and return to school.
Attendance

We are asking Sixth Form students to
set an example for the rest of school
to follow in terms of wearing the
correct uniform.
Please help support us with this.

Students should be in an advanced stage in
terms of their UCAS applications.
They should have written multiple drafts of
their personal statement and be working
closely with their form tutor to get this
completed.
Our internal deadline for applications is 15th
November. This enables the sixth form
team to complete their checks and
communicate with students should any
errors or questions arise.
We encourage all students to use all 5
choices.
University – UCAS applications
![Page 10: YR13 Parent Expectations Evening - Knaresborough › common › images › downloads › Year-13-Exp… · YR13 Parent Expectations Evening THE FINAL YEAR PREPARING FOR LIFE BEYOND](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042401/5f0ffb767e708231d446dacf/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Once sent universities communicate directly with
students. Students must ensure they keep on top
of communication and are aware of any action
they need to take. Sometimes universities may
include conditions as part of the offer.
Be aware that some universities will use
interviews, assessments or student portfolios as
part of their selection procedure. They will be
clear about this to the student.
Once students have received offers they will
need to pick their firm and insurance choices.
They MUST take into consideration their predicted
grades and MUST ensure the insurance choice is
a lower offer than their firm choice.
