University Applications
At Radnor we pride ourselves on the quality and outcomes of our University applications. In the past 7 years 100% of leavers have achieved their university of choice, including many Russell Group Universities.
University applications can seem daunting with thousands of courses available at hundreds of universities in the UK and beyond. Our staff aim to make the application process simple and straightforward by providing guidance and support throughout the process.
Students use the Unifrog programme which helps them compare different universities and courses and provides practical information about the application processes and grades needed for different institutions. The programme also helps students identify aspirational, strong and solid university choices which they can consider in detail with input from their form tutors. The Head of Sixth Form then works closely with each and every pupil to help them refine and improve their Personal Statements and UCAS applications.
In Year 12, students have the opportunity to visit the UCAS Higher Education Conference as well as trips to Oxford or Cambridge and other top 20 universities.
Parents are invited in for an evening session which further explains the UCAS Process. There are also regular coffee mornings and meetings to ensure parents feel fully supported in helping their children gain a place at the university of their choice.
‘The teachers are so passionate about each and every individual’s success. They work overtime to ensure you have considered every option and that whatever your final destination may be, it is right for you.’ - Year 12 Student
