The closing date for applications for 2010 entry was Friday 11th December 2009. Applications received after the closing date are placed on a Waiting List and late applicants will need to contact the college after GCSE results day to see if there are any places available. If you wish to make a late application for 2010, please contact our Admissions Team 01744 452214/452212.
We welcome applications from all students regardless of gender, sexual identity, ethnic origin, religion or disability.
If you are studying at one of our partner or associated schools you will be given priority provided that you meet the application deadline date (11th December 2009) and entry requirements.
If you are not from a partner or associated school you are advised to apply by the deadline, as each year, the college is considerably oversubscribed. Your application will be considered on an individual basis, subject to availability of places.
Please note: In the event that either the college or a particular course is oversubscribed, you may be placed on a Waiting List.
