In this month's newsletter, we're focusing on resources and events in the lead up to the UCAS deadline on 15 January 2021. Below we've signposted a range of CIAG events and resources, including opportunities for work experience, virtual open days, subject sessions, and personal statement support.
Throughout November we've also been busy building new student-facing resources, listed below and available directly on our YouTube channel. We've also collated a list of these activities and resources for parents, available to download here.
During our most recent virtual coffee morning we focused on personal statement support with a guest presentation from Middlesex University London. We also heard the latest opportunities for your students from UEL, Creative Mentor Network, RVC and AccessHE. Click here to access a summary of resources shared during the webinar. Join us on the 22nd January when we will be navigating student finance, and the associated support for students. Click here to sign up.

We're delighted to highlight some excellent Careers support for VI form students produced by Chris. Since lockdown, Chris has been producing weekly CIAG bulletins, sent to students and parents, to signpost opportunities within the school and beyond to support students with careers and HE guidance during this time. Well done Chris! Take a look at one of his recent bulletins here for some Monday morning inspiration. If you'd like to celebrate the great careers activities happening near you, get in touch with us!
