Make your personal statement stand out

Stand out campaign logo

Stand out eventWe read thousands of personal statements and find that students often overlook the importance of out-of-school activities. Yet these activities demonstrate valuable skills such as team working, passion for a subject, organisational skills, initiative and commitment. 

Many talented young people may miss out on their chosen university or course because they aren’t able to demonstrate how their personal interests have helped them develop different skills.

We  have created resources to give GCSE and A Level students and their teachers and parents tips and advice on creating stand out personal statements and CVs using personal interests, hobbies and part time jobs.
