 Mr Anthony McClaran, Chief Executive of UCAS In a specially organised visit the Chief Executive of UCAS, Anthony McClaran – himself a pupil at the independent boys’ school in Harrow between 1969 and 1976 – went through the application procedures and the role of UCAS before a Q & A session. “The visit was clearly of immense benefit to the boys,” said Headmaster Kevin Riley. “The boys in the Lower Sixth are already thinking seriously about university, and the information they received was invaluable. The fact that Anthony was himself a pupil at the school added extra interest.” UCAS, the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service, is the organisation responsible for managing applications to higher education courses in the UK. It processes more than two million applications for full-time undergraduate courses every year. ENDS Issued on behalf of The John Lyon School |
