How to use this bulletin

Each week this bulletin will feature key information and dates for families of sixth form students.  Please check it each week to see upcoming events and trips and for important information affecting Y12 and Y13.  This bulletin will also feature lots of opportunities outside of school as well as enrichment and super curricular at LaSWAP. We expect all of our sixth form students to take advantage of the brilliant opportunities available with us and across London.

There will also be a fortnightly LaSWAP newsletter, starting next week.  This will be emailed to all parents and carers and added to our website.

Y13 Mock Exams

Y13 mock exams timetable

Shared groups

All AM exams begin at 9am. All PM exams begin at 1.30pm. Please arrive in plenty of time to register and get to your exam room.

There are no A Level lessons during mock exam week. Vocational, technical and GCSE resit classes all continue as normal. If a student has a mock exam on a day when they have lessons, they will be excused from those lessons.

Students with clashes will receive a bespoke timetable from their base school.

Y13 UCAS Early Entry deadlines

The UCAS Early Entry deadline is just a month away! I have contacted all of the potential Early Entry students I know. If you child is considering an Early Entry application, I need to know ASAP.  Early Entry is ANY course at Oxford or Cambridge universities, or any medicine, dentistry or veterinary course.

Please speak to your child this week. They must have a statement draft to me by the start of next week.

Deadlines

  • Monday 15 September: LNAT booking deadline
  • Friday 19 September: UCAT booking deadline
  • Friday 26 September: internal LaSWAP deadline for all Early Entry applications. Applications must be completed, submitted and paid for (UCAS is free for students who receive bursary). It is very important that this deadline is met.
  • Friday 26 September: MAT, PAT, BMSAT, TSA, CAT, Oxford Philosophy Test, MLAT, AHCAAT booking deadline
  • Monday 29 September: ESAT & TMUA booking deadline
  • Tuesday 15 October: UCAS Early Entry deadline

Please also check the Cambridge website as some colleges have extra assessments.

Please note that these are hard deadlines. Students will not be able to book tests after these dates. If the LaSWAP deadline for application submission is missed, we cannot guarantee the application will be sent by 15 October and therefore ill not be considered by the institution.
