For those who have already signed up for these upcoming events at University of Brighton, I hope you find them reassuring and informative. For those who haven't, I just wanted to remind you that the event for parents of Year 13 students who have applied to (any) university, is on Weds this week. Please use the links below to register if you can and would like to attend.
Best wishes,
