Carmel is an inclusive, thriving community that welcomes students from all faiths and backgrounds. Admissions criteria is the same, regardless of which high school you go to, and is purely based on you meeting the entry requirements for your chosen courses.

At Carmel, our priority is your success so we provide the support and guidance throughout your time with us to ensure you reach your absolute potential.
