Applications Process for Schools and Home Educated Learners
The process of applying for Year 10 places is as follows:
- Applications opened on Monday 20th January 2025. This stage of the process has now closed.
- Requests will now be reviewed to allocate places. We cannot guarantee that all students will get their first choice as this will depend upon course capacity and demand for places. Where we cannot allocate a first choice, we will aim to allocate the second choice.
- Once allocations are confirmed, schools or parents where Home Educated will be contacted by the fe-applications team with details of how to complete the formal application process.
