"Attending university will be a completely new experience for me. Having the opportunity to attend a university open day has allowed me to feel much more comfortable in making the decision to improve my future prospects." – Anas, Year 13

UCAS references for former students 

All former students looking to use school references to make a UCAS application by early deadline of the 15th October 2023 must have paid and completed their application by Monday 2nd October 2023.

Any other applications that require school UCAS references for starting in September 2024 must have been paid and completed by Monday 6th November  2023.

At Greenshaw we are proud that the vast majority of our Year 13 students go on to higher education when they leave.

From midway through Year 12 advice is given on the university application process and there are evenings for parents at the start of Year 13 to explain the process.

All undergraduate university courses are listed on the UCAS website and details of the entry requirements can also be found there. These are either given as grades (e.g. BBB) or as a point score (e.g. 120 points). The UCAS points tariff is as follows:
