Here are some of the most commonly asked questions about the sixth form.
What happens after I've got my GCSE results?
You will be invited to Enrolment which will be from the 29th August to the 5th
September. You will receive a letter over the summer with details. If you can't attend enrolment, then you must get in touch as this could jeopardise your place with us.
What happens if I don't achieve my predicted grades?
Once you receive your GCSE results you will attend your enrolment appointment
and a member of staff will help you with your next steps. If you change your
mind about a course, don't worry as you can discuss this
at enrolment. If you haven't achieved the GCSE results you expected we will help you to find an alternative course.
What happens if I don't pass my English Language and Maths GCSE?
If you do not achieve a grade 4 or above in English and/or Maths then you will
have to retake these while you study with us. These qualifications are essential
for you future; whether you move on to higher education, an apprenticeship or
employment.

Timetables differ depending on the course or courses that you have applied for.
