Frequently Asked Questions

Here are some of the most commonly asked questions about the sixth form...

What happens after I've got my GCSE results?

You are invited to our Enrolment from 27th August to 30th August. You will receive a letter over the summer with detailed information. If you are unable to attend, please contact us promptly to avoid jeopardising your place.

What happens if I don't achieve my predicted grades?

After you receive your GCSE results, attend your enrolment appointment where a staff member will assist you with your next steps. If you change your mind about a course, don't worry—you can discuss this during your enrolment. If your GCSE results aren't what you expected, we will help you 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, you will need to retake these subjects while studying with us. These qualifications are crucial for your future, whether you aim to pursue higher education, an apprenticeship, or employment.

How do I ask questions about a particular course?

You can speak to a member of our staff by sending a message to us on our Facebook or Instagram account @longleyparksf and we will reply within 48hrs, or you can email enquiries@longleypark.ac.uk

What will my timetable look like?

Timetables differ depending on the course or courses that you have applied for. You are not expected to be in the sixth form full time like school. However, you are expected to work independently in your non contact time; whether that is in the sixth form Independent Learning Centre (ILC) or at home.

What happens at lunchtime?

We have a canteen on site which is open from 8am in the morning for breakfast, with free toast up to 8.45am, through to 1.30pm for lunch. We also have a café on site which is open until
2.30pm where you can purchase snacks, hot drinks and Frappuccino’s. You can also leave site for lunch; there is a Costa, KFC and other shops close by.

What social activities, sports and clubs can I get involved in?

We have a wide range of Project You activities like Book Club, Indoor Cricket, Fantasy Football, Board Game Cafe, LGBTQ+ Cafe and many more. We also have a fully equipped gym, a sixth form football team and we are looking to start a basketball team also. You can also join our debating society, student council, take part in the Duke of Edinburgh Award or apply to become a Student Ambassador.

What support is there when applying to University?

When you join the Sixth Form you will work closely with an Academic Tutor throughout your time with us. They will guide you through your application and we also hold regular UCAS workshops to help you.
