For the first time since the SJT process came in, there are no Bristol students still waiting to be placed at this stage of the year on the Foundation School Programme.
Our students this year have scored on average higher than the national average of scores, which is partly why they have all done so well.
Over 25% of this year’s graduates will have posts in the Severn Foundation School, which should make them feel more comfortable and will provide better support for them in those first few months of FY1.
While 20% of our students applied for an academic foundation programme job half were offered a place – ie 10% of the year group will have a place.
There is always a cloud behind the silver lining – and this might help you to understand why we are so tough on deadlines and meeting them. For those academic places, nationally, 8% of those offered a place failed to meet the deadline for acceptance and so lost their place.
