We pride ourselves on the outstanding UCAS support offer that all students receive at the John Fisher School Sixth Form. We are so confident that our offer exceeds other providers, that we make the following UCAS pledge to all our students. At the JFS Sixth Form we promise that, as a minimum, we will offer:
-
A dedicated ‘Futures Planning Day’ at the start of Y12
-
Run a live and virtual information evening in Y12 to inform students and parents at least one year before the submission deadline
-
Provide a range of extra-curricular opportunities for multiple courses and disciplines through our online communication platform
-
Support students who require time to attend any extra-curricular activities that would support a future UCAS application, that may clash with school events/days
-
Offer all students the opportunity to attend a UCAS Discovery Event in London Provide at least one full day, off-timetable, in Y12 that will be devoted to completing a UCAS application
-
Ensure a one-to-one meeting with your form tutor on your first day in Y13 to support you in making the appropriate next steps
-
Run a live UCAS timeline event for all students at the start of Y13 outlining key dates, deadlines and different methods of accessing university for the upcoming cycle
-

-
On-hand guidance on A-Level Results Day which includes Clearing support for those who may need it
We believe that the first job of our Sixth Form is to get students to where they want to when they leave us. For many students that is a place at one of the top Russell Group universities. Notwithstanding, we guarantee the above for all students for whichever university they are aspiring to join. We pride ourselves on the bespoke UCAS support package that we offer, and believe that it is second to none.
If you have any queries or questions about UCAS support at the John Fisher School, you can email johnfisherschool@johnfisherschool.org, for the attention of Mr Jackson – Director of Sixth Form.
