Closing Dates for September 2020 Applications: Barton Peveril College Application Deadline: Friday, 21st February 2020 Peter Symonds College Application Deadline: Monday, 16th December 2019

Other establishments have not given an application deadline. However, the deadline set for students to get their application forms in to the colleges/6th forms is Christmas 2019.

Try to visit as many colleges on their open events as you can. It is best to visit too many than miss ones and later wish that you had visited them. Also, it is possible to apply for as many colleges as you like. You will need to attend interviews at all the colleges you apply for. You can decide which college you would like to go to later in the academic year, even after you get your GCSE results.

Careers Support in Year 11

The Careers Team is made up of the following people: Mrs Jesson (Careers Adviser) and Mrs Elliott (Personalised Learning and Enterprise Manager). We are based in the Careers Office, upstairs in the Science Block (next to S5). Feel free to come and see us at break or lunchtime, Monday – Thursday.
