Guide to Future Pathways

Higher Education Information for Current Students in the Sixth Form

University Application - Supporting Documents

All of our students applying to university will need to produce a strong personal statement. A Leventhorpe Guide is provided with suggested structure and examples. It is important to use these for ideas only and never to copy as UCAS do electronically check personal statements for plagiarism.

Students will be signing up for their UCAS accounts in school. Anyone who has missed this opportunity and instructions can use this step-by-step guide
