Official Application Process
It is really important that we can help you succeed at your GCSEs so your application will be followed by an admissions appointment to confirm this is the right option for you. At enrolment you will have another chat with a senior member of staff, they will look at your existing GCSE results, your planned progression route and possible future career choices. Attendance, attitude and motivation are all essential for success. We will discuss these with you and will also ask for a recent school report. There may be occasions where we contact your previous school for a reference.
Year 12 Access Overview
You will study four subjects from the list below and have at least 2 hours of Personal Development every week in addition to supervised independent study.
At the start of your programme we will ask you to complete Literacy and Numeracy assessments so we can put in place any support needed to help you succeed.
At the end of the year, when you have successfully achieved your results, this will allow you to either continue on to study A levels, which you can do with us, or apply to study a vocational Level 3 course elsewhere – allowing you to succeed in the future.
