FAQs for School Leavers

Please see below our frequently asked questions, but if you have any additional questions please get in touch with us by either [email protected] or calling 0800 622 006.

What do I need to bring with me to enrolment?

You will need to bring a copy of your GCSE results and a form of ID (Passport, National ID Card, Driving Licence, Birth Certificate, National Insurance Card or Bank Credit/Debit Card)

When is enrolment?

Enrolment begins on Thursday 21st August. Whatever your results, come in and talk to your teachers and we can find a course for you. When you have finished your enrolment appointment, you will be issued with your college ID card.

I haven't applied, is there still time?

The best thing to do is come in to enrol with us from 21st August and we will sort your application out there. You can also talk to your teachers about your course.

What if I don't meet the entry requirements?

In the event that you do not meet the entry requirements for a specific course and the subject teacher feels you may struggle, do not worry! We still want you to come and see us at enrolment where we’ll support you to find an appropriate course which meets your interests and aspirations.

I would like to transfer from another college into year 13. Is this possible?

It is possible for you to transfer from another college into year 13. However, it would depend on whether you have been studying the same curriculum as our current students and whether the exam board is the same. It would be a decision the course leader would be able to make at enrolment. If you haven’t already, please submit an application on our website. We will invite you to enrol at the end of August.

Are parents allowed to come to enrolment?

Yes of course, we are happy to talk through the courses with both yourself and your parent/guardian.

I've changed my mind, am I allowed to change my course?

Yes, of course. We want you to be happy studying the subjects you enjoy. Just let us know you’ve changed your mind when you come in to enrol. Any other questions please call us on 0800 622 006

I've applied and had my offer accepted. What do I do now?

We will send you a letter with details of your time and date to come in and enrol. The last step is to come in at the time and date on the letter where you will be able to meet your teachers and finalise your enrolment. If you haven’t received a letter from us, do not worry please turn up to enrolment.

I missed an admissions interview. Can I reschedule?

We have finished interviewing for the summer break. We will be able to interview students at enrolment. We still have places on some courses so will be able to discuss course options then.

Need more help?

If you have any questions, please contact us at [email protected] or call us on 0800 622 006.
