To equip all students with the knowledge, skills, and experiences needed to make informed decisions about their future education and employment pathways.
The goal is to empower each of you to make confident, well-informed career choices that reflect your interests, strengths, and ambitions.
Ensure you check the calendar for the key dates on the colleges you are interested in
Many of the colleges have an 'earlier the better' policy for application submission dates. The earlier you submit your application the more likely you are to get onto the courses of your choice. Once the courses start to fill up you may need to reconsider your options if you have not yet submitted your application. Aim for the end of February at the latest.
Specific Deadlines:
Peter Symonds College: Monday 8th December - 4pm
Barton Peveril College: 13th February - 4pm
Sparsholt College: By Christmas is advised
SHCG (Inc. Eastleigh, Southampton and Fareham Colleges): By Christmas is advised
Year 11: Barton Peveril have updated their application form and now have 3 questions instead of personal statement. The questions:
Why do you believe Barton Peveril is the right college for you?
Why do you want to study your course choices in particular and what are your plans for after college?
How has your time at school prepared you for studying at college? (Please also tell us about other extra-curricular experiences or activities that have prepared you to be a contributing member of our college community?)
Barton Peveril: After interview, students will receive an offer via email.
Students must accept their offer within two weeks of receiving their conditional digital letter.
Year 11: You do not need to put your predicted grades onto your college application forms. We will send them directly to the colleges in January.
