The Flagpole

Students have been busy over the last couple of weeks thinking about and planning their futures after Princethorpe.

Last week they were given advice on what they could be doing over the summer to enhance their university and apprenticeship applications. The presentation gives lots of useful tips and can be found here.

This week they have been busy working on their personal statements using Unifrog and also starting to register on UCAS.com where their application will actually be processed. The resources used by students can be accessed here.

Any parents who wish to use Unifrog themselves can set up their own login by visiting the site here and entering the Form Code ‘parentprincethorpe’.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me by email.
