Y12 bursary

As a new Y12 LaSWAP student, your child may be entitled to a weekly bursary. This is linked to Free School Meals eligibility. Payment of the bursary is dependent on attendance to school and is paid directly into the student's bank account.

To receive a bursary, you must first be registered for Free School Meals with Camden. You can register and check eligibility here: https://www.camden.gov.uk/free-school-meals 

You must reapply even if your child had Free School Meals at secondary school.  Y13 students so not need to reapply.

Once registered, the student must collect a form from their base school, complete it and return it. They cannot receive their bursary without doing this!

This information can also be found on our website: https://www.laswap.camden.sch.uk/Bursary-and-Free-School-Meals/

Y13 UCAS deadlines and predicted grades

The UCAS Early Entry deadline is Wednesday 15 October. The LaSWAP deadline for submitting early entry applications has now passed.

The deadline for all other UCAS courses is 14 January 2026, but we need to have applications completed by early December to ensure they can be checked and sent on time. Students should be planning to get the first draft of their personal statements to their tutors for feedback by half term. Now mocks are over, UCAS can take a more prominent role.

Please see the LaSWAP website for our UCAS Predicted Grade policy: https://www.laswap.camden.sch.uk/Students/Predicted-Grades-Policy/
