I understand that this is a sustained engagement programme. If I'm selected to take part I fully intend to attend all the sessions over the programme. I understand that if I stop attending regularly my place may be offered to someone else.

^*Online sessions

I understand that during the online sessions I need to be somewhere quiet where I can actively engage with the sessions using a microphone & speakers/headphones.

^*Permission to attend

I, as the parent/guardian of the above named student, confirm that I give permission for them to attend the sessions offered, should they be accepted onto the programme.

Does the student have any allergies, medical conditions, access requirements or do they ordinarily receive any additional support during school, which we should be aware of?

^*Adult to accompany the student to in-person day

I understand that an adult parent/carer needs to accompany the student to the in-person event in Oxford. They will remain responsible for the young person during the visit.

I understand that successful applicants will be added to an email mailing list so they can receive administrative and logistical updates from the Department of Computer Science and Christ Church College regarding this event series. The student's email address provided above will be used.

If you would like an alternative email address added to the aforementioned programme mailing list, as well as the student's email given above, please provide it here. For example, you might want updates sent to both student and a parent/carer.

Anything else?

Is there anything else you'd like to tell us, that you think would be useful for us to know whilst considering your application?

Support

The following question will allow us to support your young person to take part in the programme. This will not be used as part of the selection criteria, but is about us enabling the participation of the successful applicants.

^*Travel for the student and carer to the in-person event:

We are able to cover reasonable travel expenses (via public transport) for those who otherwise would not be able to afford to travel to Oxford for the Graduation Day. We are afraid that we are unable to support with any accommodation costs, but an overnight stay will hopefully not be necessary. Please let us know if you would need support with travel costs (closer to the time, we will ask you to let us know the approximate cost by public transport, keep your receipts, and will reimburse you after the event).

We would need support with travel costs, without which we would not be able to participate.

We do not need support with travel costs in order to participate.
