Topic: Parent/Guardian Information Evening: Introduction to the application process and Student Finance

Date: Thursday 14th May

Time: 19:00-20:30

This session is aimed at Y12 Parents/Guardians and will be particularly useful for parents who did not attend university themselves. Parents/Guardians of Y13 are also welcome to attend. This is the same session we ran in the Autumn.

Topic: The Perils of Power Posing Research

Date: Wednesday 20th May 2026

Time: 16:30-17:15

You may have heard of research claiming that standing in a “power pose” can make you feel more powerful, act more confident, and feel less stressed. However, is this really true? In this session, we’ll discuss some of the issues with the “power posing” research in psychology and talk about what your posture really says about you.

Topic: Clearing: Everything you need to know

Date: Thursday 21st May

Time: 16:30-17:15

Clearing can be a great opportunity to find that perfect place. There are many reasons why you might choose this route: a change of mind about the course/university, needing a plan B, being a new applicant. Let us guide you through the process, so that you are ready, if you decide to use it.
