How to apply

Stage 1:

Complete application form

Our application form will ‘go live’ on the school website from Thursday 11th November.

Deadline for applications is 31^st January 2022

Stage 2:

Once you have applied, we will begin to get in touch with you. If you already study at Frances Bardsley you will have the opportunity to meet with Sixth Form staff and students informally to discuss your applications. If you are joining us from other schools you will be invited in for an informal interview. This year these will take place online via zoom.

Once these meetings have taken place, we will write to the students letting them know if they have been offered a conditional place.

Stage 3:

Once we have received all applications, we will then make final decisions on the courses that will run the following September. This decision is made based on the number of students applying for specific courses, as well as our ability to staff all of our A-Levels and BTEC courses. We will contact any students individually if it appears we are no longer able to run one of the subjects offered on our prospectus.

All students will receive a letter to inform them of the subjects we are able to offer them and they must respond to let us know if they will be joining us in September.

If you have accepted an offer:

Students who have chosen to study with us from other schools will be invited into Sixth Form during the summer term to meet the Sixth Form staff and students.

Joining us:

On GCSE results day, ALL applicants with offers, Frances Bardsley students and those joining from other schools, are required to attend the school in person with their GCSE results. We can then discuss the courses they have chosen to study and discuss whether these will remain the same or change.

Please look out for more information on our website in regards to enrolment.

Students very often apply for courses that they no longer wish to follow in September. It may be possible to accommodate changes provided new choices are within the existing option columns.

Please feel free to contact us should you have any questions using our online enquiry form

If you are thinking of joining us from another school and you would like a hard copy of our prospectus and our course guide posted to you, you can request one through our enquiry form. Please remember to include your name and postal address.

We look forward to hopefully welcoming you to our Sixth Form in the future.
