INDUSTRY & UNIVERSITY PREP Unique opportunities and connections. What sets CGA apart from other sixth forms are the number of unique opportunities we qualify for because of our status as a non selective all girls' school. Studying with us will give you the edge of other applicants on the best courses and universities.
Careers and university guidance is crucial and begins in Year 12 with a series of activities, guest speakers, preparation events, and a visit to the UCAS convention. Russell group universities come to Clapton to work with you on UCAS applications throughout your time in the Sixth Form. Visits are also arranged to universities, including our partners Clare College Cambridge, Goldsmiths and the University of East London.
Hi! I'm Hafsah, I'm currently in Year 13 and really trying to push through this year with a gratifying attitude. This time is crucial for a number of reasons: there's applying for university - the next big step, making sure your personal statement is on point and really weighing up all the extra curricular activities that will help boost your confidence as well as increasing the chances of you getting chosen by a university against thousands of other applications. When it comes to university, it's really worth having a look at open days and what they have to offer. Like I said - university is a big step and it isn't worth taking the wrong one when you have a free opportunity like I did to explore. It doesn't even have to be limited to universities only in London such as Goldsmiths, UCL and Westminster. Luckily, every Year 12 is given the opportunity to attend an annual UCAS convention that allows them to conjure up questions about a particular University outside of London.

Hi! I’m Alice, my Year 12 experience has been one of excitement and full of various opportunities. I was able to take part in the Hackney University Extension project for drama. This project was every Wednesday after school for a month. It involved workshops that were run by numerous individuals that gave us an insight into drama beyond school. They also helped us try and develop our acting skills on a more practical basis. This project really helped me become more open in drama as a topic and allowed me to have a more well rounded idea of it as a career. I have also attended lectures at LSE which granted me a better idea of one of my A level subjects, government and politics. I attended a lecture on the implications of Brexit on our economy and sovereignty as a union. I was able to gain more expert knowledge from key lecturers about the impact of Brexit and refer to the knowledge I had picked up in my essays and exams. As a sixth form community, we took it upon ourselves to raise money to house a Syrian refugee family in Hackney who are currently living in a refugee camp. To help raise money me and some of my fellow students decided to host a spring ball. I know that I would have not had the opportunity and support from teachers to do this if I had attended another sixth form.

Hi! I’m Ayo, my Year 12 experience has been very exciting and fulfilling. This wouldn’t have been possible without the help that I have received from CGA. I was able to take part of the Hackney University Extension programme at Bsix college for a month, in which I went to lectures and seminars at the College on English Literature. This allowed me to expand my skills of deep analysis and take part in discussions on famous literature. I also took part in the Goldsmiths Progression Scheme for Society. This involved attending lectures and seminars on topics based on history and sociology which are both subjects I currently take for my A levels. On the course I made a lot of new friends and had the opportunity to learn and discuss new topics with them. This summer I will be taking part of the UNIQ Summer Schools Programme at Oxford University for Egyptology and Eastern studies. This will be exciting because I will be learning how to understand Hieroglyphics which I find very intriguing. It will also give me an insight on student life at university and allow me to take part in many social activities.
