S6 pupils – LEAPS Summer School
Applications for the 2016 LEAPS Summer School
are now open on the LEAPS website.
The deadline for completed applications is 5pm, Friday 25 March.
A reminder of some of the key points of Summer School…
·
Summer School is a seven-week programme for LEAPS-eligible students
who are holding one or more UCAS offers. (NB Priority places given to those
holding conditional offers.)
·
It is a valuable opportunity to get a true feel for university
study and to impress admissions tutors.
·
Every year, a number of students attending the LEAPS Summer School
gain access to their chosen university course on the basis of Summer School
reports in cases where they haven't met their conditions.
Students can find out more information about the LEAPS Summer
School and how to apply, on the school website.
