Welcome to the LEAPS student survey

You must complete all of the seven parts below. It should take no more than 30 minutes to complete, if you prepare in advance. Please have details of your qualifications, personal interests, work experience, and possible University or College applications to hand before you start. You will also be asked about your eligibility - please view our What is LEAPS? presentation to learn more. You can find out how we use and what we do with your personal data here.

Do not close your browser whilst completing the survey. It is recommended that you complete this survey on a PC as it is easier than using an ipad or tablet.

Only the students of participating schools can complete the survey.

Some fields will offer suggestions as you type. Choose a suitable suggestion if one is presented, otherwise continue to type and your text will be accepted.

If you need to insert extra rows, press add to get another row. If you want to delete a row, press delete to remove the row.

Required inputs have an asterisk. Once entered they will become red if there is a problem. You should check that all required inputs are green before proceeding. Inputs that are optional remain white. You will only be able to submit the form once all required inputs have been answered.
