Insight Week

ALL Y12 STUDENTS: You are reminded that your deadline for returning completed Referral Forms to Mrs Pickford for Insight Week in July is Friday 15th March. Very few forms have yet been returned, and from discussions with many of you at the UCAS fair last week, a significant number of you have still not made much effort to secure a work placement! If you are struggling to find a placement, please see Mrs Pickford URGENTLY either during your free periods or lunchtimes. Please remember to attach your payment of £25 to your referral forms (or £50 for out of county placements). If you are on World Challenge during Insight Week please notify Mrs Pickford so she can tick you off her list. Copy of referral form for those of you who have lost yours is attached!

Research for universities – £500 cash to be won

Havas People is carrying out a major research study on behalf of more than 10 UK universities. The study is looking at students’ reasons for considering university, how you find information about university, who you talk to about your choices, and your understanding of the cost of university, amongst other things.

If you’re 16 or over and considering going to university, even if you’re not sure, we would really appreciate you taking part in our online survey. We’ve timed it and it takes around 15 minutes to complete.

If you take part, you’ll be entered into a prize draw to win £500 cash.

You can take part by following this link, or copying and pasting it into your web browser:

https://survey.efmfeedback.com/se.ashx?s=7FDA9EAE4BFCACFC

The survey is completely confidential – your answers won’t be seen by anyone outside the research team and won’t have any bearing on your university applications.

If you have any questions about the research, please contact Rachel McCourty at Havas People:rachel.mccourty@havaspeople.com

A massive thank you for your time!
