UCAS

UCAS is the admissions process for students applying to further education at universities and colleges.

At NHGS the overwhelming majority of our Sixth Form students apply to UCAS, with increasing numbers gaining higher level apprenticeships in recent years, so a significant part of PSCHEE time is allocated to the process of applications.

Students are given advice & guidance for applying throughout their time in the Sixth Form.

All year 12 students follow a PSCHEE programme which will focus largely on research and preparation for UCAS and apprenticeship applications in year 13.
