GCSE Results Day
If your results weren’t what you expected, or you’re thinking about college for the first time, we’d like to welcome you to one of our campuses and help you find the right course for you.
Whether you’re joining us for the first time or deciding your next step as a current student, we’re here to help you choose your next course.
Visit us on GCSE Results Day (Thursday 21 August), or drop in any weekday afterwards until 2 September (excl. bank holiday), and our friendly team will be ready to help. After this, we will be holding enrolment events. You can book your slot here or walk-in on the day.

Enrolment for New Students
Please complete your enrolment link by 19 August 2025 to secure your place (subject to entry requirements).
We’ve sent the link to the email address you used when you applied.
Arrive at your designated campus within your assigned timeslot — enrolment usually takes 60–90 minutes. Arriving outside your slot may mean a longer wait.
Please bring:
- Your GCSE results slip and/or certificates
- Photo ID showing your legal name
- Your Education Health Care Plan (EHCP), if you have one
- Details of any previous exam access arrangements (if applicable)
- National Insurance Number, passport and/or proof of your residential status if you’ve lived outside the UK in the past three years
If you can’t attend your assigned time, let our admissions team know and we’ll rearrange for you.
Note: Our College Support Scheme is now open. If your household income is under £50,000, you may be eligible for financial support. Students and parents can check the full criteria and apply here.

StepUp – Enrolment for Current Students
Please complete your enrolment link by 19 August.
You’ll soon receive an invite to our StartUp sessions (3–5 September). If you’ve met your offer conditions and completed your enrolment link, you’ll need to attend one of these sessions to finish your re-enrolment and induction.
Current students don’t need to attend the main enrolment events in August — these are for new students only.
What if I don’t meet my offer conditions?
Don’t worry. If your offer depends on GCSE results and they’re not as expected, we’ll invite you in to discuss your options and find the right course.
