In our efforts to inform you about changes in the higher education landscape, we would like to invite you and your parents to a session specifically tailored for parents/carers of students who are interested in finding out details about the process of applying to university. The session will take place on Thursday, 22nd June, from 5.30pm to 6.30pm, in the school’s main hall. It will be delivered by a representative from the University of Cumbria and will cover the following topics:
The session will hopefully provide you with the relevant information to enable you to support your child through the process of accessing higher education. The presentation is in addition to a UCAS assembly which was delivered to students last week and you may already be using the UCAS website. However, at this event you will also be given up to date information about Student Finance and will have the opportunity to put forward any questions that you may have.
