Some helpful online tips for Parents about the App - 'House Party'

Yesterday we hosted Hazrat Khadijatul Kubra Girls School for a day of interfaith activities and workshops as a part of '3 Faiths Forum'. Both schools had a wonderful time

Today UCAS Apply 2020 was launched with our Year 12s and they've taken the first step towards starting their applications for universities. Over the coming weeks they will research potential universities and courses, compile their UCAS applications and write their all important personal statements. This can be a daunting time for any student, but equally so for their parents/guardians. With this in mind, please make use of the information that is available (see below link) for parents and guardians, explaining the UCAS application process and how you can support along the way. https://www.ucas.com/undergraduate/applying-university/ucas-undergraduate-advice-parents-and-guardians As always, we encourage our Year 12s to make use of the Open Days that universities put on, as it gives a real sense of what university life and study is like. Most universities have these on weekends, so that families can attend. The University of Birmingham has an upcoming Open Day on Saturday 29th June. More details on how to book an Open Day can be found here; https://www.birmingham.ac.uk/undergraduate/visit/opendays/index.aspx Alternatively a list of all Open Days can be found here; www.opendays.com Whilst university is not the route for everyone, we will also be offering support and guidance to our students on the alternative post A level routes that exist, including apprenticeships. Where certainty does exist, however, is that securing the best possible outcomes at A level will be key in opening up as many opportunities as possible, with the AS results released on August 15th representing a significant measure of progress to date. Kind Regards, Mr Ruhe Assistant Principal, Head of Sixth Form
