Simply Learning Tuition

Did you know that clearing is already open?

With IB results just out, and A level results coming soon, now is the time to make sure you are on top of your university applications. Last year saw 92% of students look for clearing information and options before results day (13 August)

We recommend these three main tips:
- Look into universities and degrees that have different entry requirements
- Make a list of your priority universities who you can contact quickly on results day. Take into consideration key factors that matter to you, whether that is location, courses offered or student life.
- Speed is of the essence… so have all the right information in front of you, so you can react quickly when asked.

The future was brighter for all of us after the Academic Conference on Wednesday. It was a great day for the Simply Learning team to meet so many education colleagues and hear school and business leaders discuss The Bright Side of Education.

Fascinating insights on the world of work from CEO Nicola Murphy kicked off the day in a panel discussion with Emma McKendrick and Alastair Land. delivered an inspiring speech about how to get students future ready and Cathy Ellott, Head at Clapham, and Streatham High School, spoke about the importance of parent partnerships. delivered the speech of the day on the need for 'play' in education.

Thank you to the whole Downe team for their fantastic organisation.
