The first step is to complete your application form here on our website (or you can apply via PS16, if that's what your school uses). 

2. Assessment (specific courses only)
If you've applied to study Performing Arts or Equine (Riding Pathway), you will be invited in for an assessment prior to receiving your offical offer to study with us. This invite will be sent via email and will include all of the info you need to prepare for your assessment. 

3. Offer email
You should receive your offer email confirming your place. This will include any conditions that you need to meet before Enrolment, e.g. achieving certain GCSE grades. 

5. Student Welcome Day
You'll be invited to your Student Welcome Day over the summer where you can visit the campus, meet other students joining your class and have some fun, too! 

6. Enrolment
The last step is joining us for your Enrolment session, which usually takes place at the end of August or the beginning of September. This is where we complete all your paperwork, answer any other questions you may have, and really make you feel #OneOfTheFamily.
