Pupils and students aged 16 and over are invited to apply for this paid opportunity with Grahame Park Place Shapers. Some of our students have already applied but we’d love to see more of our community-minded young people expressing an interest.

• Overview: The programme will match local “young consultants” with a local “client” organisation. The young consultants will undertake a mini-consultancy project in response to a question or challenge set by their client, to help them improve what they do for young people. You’ll get online training and coaching on how to research what other young people think, explore creative ideas and practical solutions, and present recommendations to community leaders.

• Location/ timings: Most of the training will take place via weekly online sessions in the evenings. The dates/ times of training sessions will be confirmed once we have processed applications. You’ll conduct your consultancy project flexibly in your own time.

• Application deadline: Apply here by 25th Sept 2026. Successful applicants will be informed by the end of September.

• Payment: £12 per hour for 20 hours

Year 12

It has been great to welcome our Year 12 students and see everyone settling in so positively.

Students are already getting organised with their folders ahead of the first folder check on 14 September, while also making good progress with their transition work, which is due to be completed by 11 September. This is an excellent start, and we encourage everyone to continue building these positive habits as they begin the year.

Year 13

It has been fantastic to welcome our Year 13 students back and see them getting organised and preparing for the year ahead.

Students should now be ensuring their folders are ready for the folder check on 14 September and working towards the Unifrog personal statement deadline of 18 September. This will allow seminar tutors time to read statements and provide valuable feedback ahead of the school UCAS deadline on 1 November.

For students considering degree apprenticeships, please make your interest known to Miss MacIntyre and begin exploring opportunities, as vacancies will start to become available on the Government Apprenticeships website between now and November.

There are lots of exciting opportunities ahead, so we encourage all students to make the most of the support available and take proactive steps towards their next destination.

At Saracens High School we run lunchtime and after school clubs to suit all interests – from sports to STEM and from drama to debating. The timetable for this term will be finalised shorty, but in the meantime here are a couple of sports clubs that your children may be interested in trying.

Rugby Club

Rugby Club runs after school on Mondays and all years and abilities are welcome. We will be playing touch rugby or contact rugby so there is something for everyone. The club is coached by an ex-Saracens player so it’s an opportunity not to be missed!

Weight Lifting Club

Weight lifting club on Wednesdays is for both boys and girls who want to improve their strength and technique. It’s ideal for pupils wanting to improve their strength and performance in other sports, lose weight, become more toned and/or to learn the new skill of Olympic lifting!
