Posting by Jennifer Lumb, Admissions Officer
It doesn’t seem 5 minutes since we were dealing with applications to join the College in September 2011, but we have now begun the application process for entry in September 2012!
Applications are coming in thick and fast through our website and prospective students are getting quick responses to questions and enquiries from our Admissions department. As always, students are very keen to get their applications in and we are processing them as fast as we can. Do be careful when completing the form that you enter all your details correctly and PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE ensure you put in all your GCSE/Level 2 subjects and predicted/achieved grades otherwise we cannot process your application until we receive them.
All students who have already applied, will have had an acknowledgement from us and we have requested references from their schools.
Interviewing for provisionally successful students will begin in November for Non-Partner School applicants (i.e. from schools other than Alderbrook, Hall Green, Light Hall, Lode Heath, Lyndon and Yardleys Schools
This is a very nerve-wracking time for prospective students and we aim to inform them of the initial outcome of their application within 6-8 weeks of receiving it – this also includes interviewing.
Not all prospective students will be invited to interview and we understand that this is disappointing, but stay positive and visit a Connexions advisor to look into your post-16 options carefully.
Don’t forget, we have our Open Day on Saturday 5th November 2011 – 9:30am until 3:30pm (last entry at 2.30pm), but check our website for more details. It is important that all prospective students come accompanied by a parent or other responsible adult and if this is a problem for you, give us a call in advance on 0121 709 7803 and let us know and we’ll arrange to have someone to show you around instead.
