Teacher Academic Letters of Support
S6 students began their Guidance seminars this week and were tasked with connecting with their teachers to formally request a letter of academic support. The first deadline for teacher letter submissions to Guidance is before noon on Friday, October 7.
This letter is only for those students who are applying early to the U.K. (i.e. Cambridge, Oxford, medicine / veterinary medicine programs).
Information about how to craft a U.K. academic reference can be found here.
If you have any questions, please reach out to a member of the Student Services team.
