Our programmes are designed for high achieving students who meet our eligibility criteria. We therefore ask teachers to corroborate students’ claims regarding academic achievement and background. If a student applies and nominates you as their referee, you will be sent an email with the information we would like you to validate, and a link to complete the verification form.
The form asks if the information is accurate to your knowledge, or not. You will be asked to verify the student's qualifications and background including if they have ever received Free School Meals, lived in care, received a bursary or would be the first generation to attend university. You are also able, but not required to, outline any extenuating circumstances (e.g. is the student care experienced, suffered a bereavement during exams, etc).
