We appreciate that 6th year is when it all gets a little serious when it comes to applying to university, so we are here to help! As a LEAPS student, we'll be supporting you (along with your school) towards your UCAS application (and possibly beyond). See the timeline below to see what you can opt into and important dates during your 6th year.

Important: If you think you are LEAPS eligible, we need to have your name by mid December 2011 in order to be considered a LEAPS student in S6.
Any questions? Visit the contact page to get in touch with us.

• August - 'What is LEAPS?' talk in school (we don't do these everywhere, but most of you will have one of these short, info talks).
• August - Early 1:1 Interview (for those of you applying to Medicine/Vet Med/Oxford or Cambridge).
