187 Norwich School applications have been sent to UCAS (universities and colleges admissions service) this academic year. Mrs Warren would like to thank all staff involved in supporting Upper Sixth pupils and ONs through this process, in particular Upper Sixth tutors, Heads of Department, Mr Pearce, Mr Croston, Mr Peters and Mrs Meader. As is the norm at this point in the year, many universities are still making decisions on which applicants to offer places to. Another onward routes update early next term will share some offers that come in in the next six weeks.  We congratulate all pupils on their university offers and offers for apprenticeships and degree apprenticeships received so far. We hope these pupils will understand that the size of the Upper 6 year group means we cannot announce every offer in cathedral. The offers being read out are those that required additional hurdles on top of the UCAS form. The school’s Apply Plus Programme is run by Mr Pearce. It supports pupils applying to academic courses that require admissions tests and/or interviews.
