The Journey
From Year 11 to Results Day
One continuous, structured journey — not a list of disconnected services.
Because the programme is intensive and highly sought-after, every prospective student completes an eligibility assessment before joining. Not every applicant is offered a place — it’s what allows us to give each accepted student focused, individual attention.
Year 11 / Year 12 (early)
Strategic planning begins: subject review, university longlist, early goal-setting.
Year 12 (spring–summer)
University shortlist finalised; admissions test preparation begins where relevant.
Year 12 (autumn) / Year 13 (early)
Personal statement drafting; UCAS application build; reference coordination with school.
Year 13 (autumn)
Application submission; interview preparation for shortlisted candidates.
Year 13 (winter–spring)
Interviews, offers, and decision-making support.
Year 13 (summer)
Results day support and, where needed, Clearing guidance.

Russell Ready gave our students a level of admissions preparation we simply couldn't offer in-house. The difference in confidence going into interviews was obvious.
