UCAS Parents’ Information - Stepney All Saints School

Our Sixth Form students have had multiple opportunities to engage in enrichment and extra curriculum activities throughout their time in Sixth Form. Some of these opportunities include:

SASS Champions’ pathway: we have eight SASS champions’ pathways, which cover some of the main areas such Medicine, Oxbridge, Computing, etc. In these pathways, we have specialist teachers providing lots of opportunities to develop specific skills and experiences required for strong university applications. We have had trips to Imperial College, QMUL, and other Russell group universities.
SASS Personal Development Program (PDP): students have been voluntarily working for 40 hours to develop leadership, commitment and life skills through enrichment and extra-curricular activities. The strands are:
