Supporting Students on Results Day: Key Steps​​

 

1. Get to Know Your Student
You’ll receive an information form with key details about your student. Use this to understand their background, goals, and preferences for their next steps.

​

2. Make a Plan Together
Discuss their priorities—location, course, accommodation—and agree on which universities they'll contact. Ensure you're both clear on the approach.

​

3. Prepare for University Calls
Help your student get ready to call universities:

• Find a quiet space.

• Gather key info in advance.

• Speak calmly and clearly.

• Offer to listen in on speakerphone if they’d like support.

• Prepare thoughtful questions to ask (e.g. Does this course have a work placement? What accommodation options are there? Can the student visit?)

​

4. Debrief
After the call, review what the university said and decide on next steps together.

​

5. Record Everything
Log all actions and conversations on the student record sheet. This helps ensure continued support from the school or MyBigCareer.

​

6. Plan the Next Steps
Most students won’t have a final destination on Results Day. Help them outline what comes next and share our contact info:

​

7. Track Your Support
Even brief interactions count—make a note of how many students you supported throughout the day.
