Qualification reform in the UK & UCAS tariff changes

Hey everyone,

There are a lot of changes happening right now for UK students, both at GCSE and A-level standard so we thought it would be helpful to share some key information links to you :smile:

Our guide to A-level reform is here

If your children are considering university over the next couple of years then it's worth getting a head start and checking out the advice on qualification reform provided by UCAS.

The UCAS tariff (points) system will also change and will be introduced from September 2017, so any GCSE-level students now will apply to uni using that system. All information about the tariff can be found here. The tariff calculator is very handy to help you and your son or daughter plan ahead and start thinking about the grades they need to aim for and the number of points they will total.

Here's the UCAS parent guide for 2016 if your students are applying for uni this year.

If you have any questions, just let us know :h:
