Linked Applications
Every foundation school honours linked applications so that linked applicants are allocated to the same foundation school. Others (often the larger schools) will honour them further, ensuring applicants are allocated programmes within a certain distance of each other. Peninsula Foundation School hopes to honour linked applications for allocation to trust/programme.
