Year 13 – UCAS Applications

Lisa Hughes

Dear Parent / Carer,

There are still some year 13 students who have not yet submitted their UCAS applications to school for us to check prior to sending to UCAS. It is is vital that we receive these as soon as possible to allow enough time for checking all them. Students can expect the checking process to take between 1 to 2 weeks which involves thorough checks, referencing and discussions with the student prior to school sending the application to UCAS. Therefore, if your year 13 child has not yet sent their UCAS application to school, please encourage them to do so as soon as possible. We require them all to be submitted at the latest by Christmas, but the earlier the better, so that we can ensure they are all submitted in time for the UCAS deadline in January.

If you have any questions regarding your child’s UCAS application, or need any support whatsoever, please contact Mrs Hughes on lhughes@lymmhigh.org.uk

Many thanks for your support.
