Advice for University Application
This section of the website provides advice for those students who intend to progress to University. At Christ the King Sixth Form Centre, we support students through each stage of the application process. Higher Education Days are held in the summer term of Year 12 which allow students to attend workshops led by both staff from school and representatives from local universities. The focus in individual mentor sessions in the Autumn term of Year 13 is the completion of personal statements and UCAS application forms.
"Christ the King has not only offered me a great place to study, but has also given me the opportunity to be part of a community in which support is offered at all levels..." Sophie Temple Year 13
