This offer of a place is not conditional on the achievement of particular grades in GCSE exams nor does it relate to a particular programme of study - it is a place for the individual student on any appropriate course of study offered by the college. Prospective students are invited on an Induction Course which takes place after GCSE examinations are completed. There is a tear-off slip at the bottom of the letter of invitation which the student is asked to complete and return. Students are requested to indicate whether they are able to attend the Induction Course and whether they will be taking up the place offered in September. During the Induction Course college routines and facilities are introduced and there are talks by staff and the Student Council.
Students have the opportunity of trial classes which are offered for all courses.
Advice on enrolment is also provided. At the start of September, students enrol and as much further time as is required is set aside for individual advice and guidance on course selection.
