Make your personal statement stand out

We 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.
