I ran this session with a year 12/13 group who were writing their personal statements. It goes through the steps to writing a great personal statement and helps students to avoid any cliches. This was a great resource and took a couple of hours. There is a lengthy PowerPoint which goes through a step-by-step guide to the personal statement and a couple of worksheets for students so they can do research on their chosen subjects/universities.

A UCAS personal statement worksheet to prompt students to consider the course they want to study and how to prove their eligibility on their personal statement. See my other resource which contains a fab PowerPoint to accompany!
