Next Steps

In Year 12

​

The following events form part of our continued support for Year 12 students aimed at helping them prepare for life after college, whether that is in higher education, an apprenticeship or employment.

​

Bedfordshire Higher Education Exhibition: Friday 21st June 9.00am – 12.30pm at the University of Bedfordshire

 

This event is hosted by the University of Bedfordshire at their Bedford campus on Polhill Avenue. Students will have a chance to meet representatives from over 80 colleges and universities, the Armed Forces and gap year providers. Talks covering a range of related topics will run during the morning, therefore it is highly beneficial for your son/daughter to attend this event to help them understand and explore the options that are available to them on leaving college.

 

Next Steps Day @ Kimberley College: Thursday 11th July 9am - 3.10pm

​

We have worked over a number of years with a range of experts, who come into college and work with students on a more practical level to build on the information gained at the previous UCAS event. One of the many aspects of this day is the “Preparing for Higher Education” programme, where students will begin the UCAS (university application) process. This is an essential day for students as it will provide them with information on the application process, writing personal statements, how to live on a budget at university, and student finance.

In Year 13

​

You will continue to prepare for life beyond college in your guidance sessions, including finalising your UCAS applications, securing an apprenticeship, or you may be looking to make the most of gap year opportunities.

 

A PHSE session covering UCAS applications, personal statement writing, apprenticeships and interview skills will take place in the first half term.

 

On Tuesday 26th March 2019 you are invited to a Student Finance Information Evening starting at 6pm, where we will provide information on where and how to apply for tuition fees and other financial support you might require. Students will receive the same information in a presentation during assembly therefore there is no need for them to attend. To book the event please use the following link
