Admissions Criteria

Entry requirements: at least 5 GCSEs grade 4 or higher. For A level courses, mostly grade 5s (or higher) across GCSEs. For vocational courses, generally grade 4s (or higher) in GCSEs. Equivalent qualifications at Level 2 in vocational courses (at Merit or above) are accepted but must be accompanied by a minimum of 4 GCSEs, grades 9-4. Absence of GCSE English Language at grade 4 will significantly restrict study programme options at level 3. Some subjects have specific entry requirements; we look at each student’s GCSE results individually and advise at interview and enrolment.
