Given the birth rate (18 years ago) climbs every year for the next six years and is currently at the bottom of a trough, now is probably the best time to be looking for a place.

damn right. We expect the rise to start to hit in 2021/22 and 22/23, and are planning strategy now.
For higher cost STEM subjects this is worrying, it's not easy to expand engineering infrastructure quickly.
Personal statements aren't reliable. An admissions tutor has no idea of the parental/school input to the statement. University administered tests and interviews are the way forward here. The best universities already do this, but it's time consuming.

Another interesting statistic regarding the birth rate is the age of the parents. The birth rate for women under 35 is actually on the decline but over 35 is where the increase is happening. You might surmise that children of older parents might be more likely to be heading for HE?
This is true but at the same time they have made A-levels harder & top unis pull from a global base. It is actually the 2nd tier H.E.'S which will suffer the most
Possibly, later child birth is probably more akin to the educated MCs

it hasn't gone unnoticed by our planners. Additionally as time goes on we are seeing an increase in 2nd generation university applicants, families where the parents have been to uni are getting more common. There are of course some notable exceptions to this still.

Do males take A-Levels any more? (Images from the top hits for the BBC and MSM papers).
Congratulations all!

The drop in the value of the pound probably has an effect on the number of overseas students vying for places in uk institutions.

Quite.
I remember an admissions tutor at Leeds telling an open day audience that all personal statements illustrated was who had rich enough parents to go swanning around the world or connected enough parents to get them work experience denied to less privileged students.

A year?
My daughter did an English degree at Durham.
She then did a year doing the GDL to get a law degree and a further year doing the LPC to become qualified to pursue a career as a solicitor.
