The Sixth Form
UNIVERSITY NEWS & UPDATES
This site should help keep you in touch with any developments of importance as well as give replies to questions whose answers may be of interest to all.
I am including here the links in my Power-point presentation I used on Monday
14 July in case it may be of use and speed up access to the websites.
UCAS: Parents
Student finance : Directgov - Education and learning
Student Loan and grant calculator : Directgov - Do it online
(To access: right click on mouse and choose 'open')
Answers to two questions I was asked are below:
- According to Wiltshire CC who issued the chart giving different levels of income and support, “Residual” means Gross Taxable Pay but there are some items which should not be included such as
- personal relief
- payments under covenant
- non-taxable income
For further details drawn from the Notes that accompany the PN1 form I am giving the link to Student Finance Direct below where you can access the current state of play for 2008/09.

- An adviser at the Student Loan Company told me the current rate of interest was 4.8%. There is no other rate, i.e.a lower rate to start off. The rate is assessed each September, so insofar as it is linked to inflation it may increase given the current trend in the RPI.
