Here are some of our most asked questions. How does a student register for LEAPS? There is no formal registration process for LEAPS until students are in S6 (or S5 if a student is leaving school at the end of S5).When students are in S6 (or S5 if a student is leaving school at the end of S5), students who may be LEAPS eligible will be invited to a LEAPS S6 Pre-UCAS 1:1 in autumn. It is at this point that a student’s LEAPS eligibility is checked and, once confirmed, they are formally recorded with LEAPS via our dedicated online system. Individualised information, advice, and guidance is also provided at this 1:1 to support students to make strong and strategic applications to higher education study.It is vital that LEAPS eligibility is confirmed (with LEAPS) at this point so that it can be highlighted to universities at the point of applying to higher education. The deadline for LEAPS S6 Pre-UCAS 1:1s is usually in late November, and schools are informed in advance. This article was published on 2025-07-02
