Student destinations 2014

Transcription

1 Student destinations 2014 The majority of Bexley Grammar School students go on to higher education, and those applying to university in 2014 secured places at many prestigious universities, including 77 progressing to Group* institutions (approximately 40% of the 195 students taking up university places). The full list, showing the range of courses chosen, is given below. Students are given extensive guidance and support in choosing their pathways, including one to one impartial advice and guidance from the school s own qualified Careers and Higher Education Adviser, as well as input from the highly experienced team of tutors and the 6th form leadership. Beginning in the spring term of Year 12, students are encouraged to research higher education options carefully, including visiting universities and attending taster events. Visiting speakers from universities and employers contribute to the annual Careers and UCAS day for students, and subsequent off-timetable days are used to support students further in their research and applications. An evening providing detailed information about preparing to apply for specific subjects takes place in the spring for Year 11 and 12 parents and students, and a general higher education information evening is held for Year 12 parents and students in the Summer Term. Students aiming at the most competitive universities and courses (including Oxbridge and medicine, dentistry and vet science) are supported by a specialist team, and preparation activities include weekly meetings during Year 12 and 13, lectures and talks by guest speakers including academics from a number of universities, interview and admissions test preparation and extensive support throughout the application process. Students choosing alternative routes are supported with individual advice and guidance, and have taken a number of pathways, including performing arts courses, art foundation diplomas and jobs with employers such as BDO, the Bank of England and BT. A number of students apply to university after a gap year. * : the Group represents 24 leading UK universities which are committed to maintaining the very best research, an outstanding teaching and learning experience and unrivalled links with business and the public sector.
