Careers Guidance

We have a well-resourced careers room housed in the Sixth Form Centre. It is well stocked with prospectuses, videos and software and is open at lunchtimes when the Careers Master is usually available for consultation.

University application guidance

At LRGS we offer boys a carefully structured programme to prepare them for submitting applications to UCAS.

Most of this is delivered in the Thursday morning CAVE period by form teachers, who all have a weekly programme to follow and plenty of resources to deliver it. A great deal of general advice is given and boys start work on Personal Statements in the Lent Term of Lower Sixth, to be in a position to complete them, as well as their electronic applications, in early September of Upper Sixth.

Outside speakers give talks both to the whole year group and to targeted groups throughout the Lower Sixth. Talks this year have included Medicine, Law, Architecture, Media and Languages. Advice is also given about such things as Gap Years, again via form teachers and outside speakers.

Oxbridge Guidance

In addition to our general UCAS programme, we offer a full programme to assist those who may be interested in applying to Oxford or Cambridge. This includes talks by outside speakers from both universities, and the opportunity to go to Open Days at Oxford or Cambridge in an accompanied group. We also offer extra help in the preparation of Personal Statements.
