How reliable are your students' references?

Helping the next generation get off to the best start at Schools and Sixth Forms
Dear Teachers and Admissions Teams,
As students will no longer be sitting formal external exams this summer, there's going to be an increased focus on the quality, rigour, and reliability of academic references.
Admissions+ features an Online Reference Collection system which allows you to masterfully manage all your references in one place!
There are 4 key benefits:
- Personalised reference requests: customise your reference requests, ensuring you collect the information your school needs.
- Collect & chase: get live updates as references come in and efficiently follow up with pending requests.
- Referees confirm predicted grades: referees can see and verify predicted grades submitted by students. They can also provide further evidence by attaching a file/scan.
- Track delivery rates: with the detailed email activity tracker, you'll be able to pick up any incorrectly entered email addresses.
Collect any other references?
Admissions+ Online Reference Collection is very versatile and can be used to collect other types of references, aside from academic, please see below:
- Religious references: references from Priests (useful for Catholic Schools Supplementary Forms) e.g. Baptism
- Scholarships: references collected by Sporting or Musical Referees, upload videos of the performance
- Bursary Form: to verify that primary parent's information was entered correctly
A reference portal: to save bombarding your referees with emails chasing requests for different references.
Simply send one email, and your referees will be able to log into their own Admissions+ portal and complete the reference request at their leisure. Keeping the inbox in-tray and stress levels low! ??

Stay safe and healthy,
