This week marked the launch of the UCAS journey for Year 12, an exciting step as students begin to explore their future pathways. They will receive personalised support throughout, and we are looking forward to supporting them on this journey. The launch was delivered by Bella Benson from the University of Hertfordshire with an engaging, interactive session on the UCAS process. Our Oxbridge Club also starts on Monday, open to students considering these routes or those keen to challenge themselves academically.
Year 13 have begun the year focusing on effective study habits, revision strategies and wellbeing. They also took part in a university life talk and a Campus Innovation Challenge, developing key decision-making skills typical of assessment centres.
We are always keen to involve Parents and Friends of the College in supporting student aspirations. If you are able to offer a career-based conversation (online or in person), please contact rscott@st-francis.herts.sch.uk
