Over the past six weeks, our Year 12 students have been working diligently on developing their personal statements, showing commitment and maturity as they begin preparing for their next steps beyond sixth form. So far, students have completed two of the three key sections, reflecting on their passion for their subjects, achievements, skills and future aspirations.
Personal statements are an important part of the application process for students considering university, apprenticeships or employment opportunities. The skills developed through writing them are also highly valuable when producing CVs and cover letters in the future.
This week, students benefited from personalised support through 1:1 meetings with admissions tutors from Middlesex University, Royal Holloway, University of London and City St George’s. These sessions provided tailored feedback and expert advice to help students strengthen their statements and better understand what universities are looking for in applications.
We are impressed by the effort Year 12 students have demonstrated so far and look forward to seeing how the final section develops following their work experience next half term, which will no doubt provide further valuable insights and experiences to reflect upon as they begin writing question 3.
