How to Apply

Making an Application

Courses on offer are shown on page 20 with further details of the course being found on our website: www.harrispost16.org.uk. Choose the courses that suit you best. Fill in the application form provided and then send in your application as soon as possible. Popular courses become oversubscribed very quickly so a prompt reply will prevent disappointment. Being a Federation means that Harris can offer a breadth of subjects most other Sixth Form institutions cannot.

When making your application, you will be applying to the Harris Federation not to a specific Academy. The Academy you will attend will be discussed at your interview and will be dependent on where you live and the courses you wish to study. Some students may choose to attend two Academies to accommodate their course options. Minibuses (which are free of charge) transport students between the sites. Your base site will be confirmed in the summer once you have your GCSE results.

How to apply
 

Please fill in the form provided with the prospectus and return to the Harris Federation Post 16 Admissions Manager, 4th Floor Norfolk House, Wellesley Road Croydon CR0 1LH. If you are applying from another school we will contact your present school and ask them for a reference. We will ask about your achievements, your attitude to study and your likely GCSE results. If the references are good we will invite you in for an interview and following that may make you an offer of a place on condition that you meet our entry requirements.

On receipt of your application we will assess your suitability for a place at the Harris Federation Post 16. You will be sent a date for an interview. These are taking place on Tuesday 24th January, Tuesday 7th February, Wednesday 22nd February, Friday 2nd March, Monday 19th March, Thursday 29th March and Thursday 19th April. We will notify you if we feel you would not benefit from continuing your studies within the Federation.

The interview provides an opportunity for us to find out more about you and your plans and enables you to make an informed decision about studying with us. You will be told about the entry qualifications required for the course of study you wish to pursue. After your interview we will write to you informing you of the outcome.

If you are not sure which course to apply for but know that you want to study with us, then telephone the

Harris Federation Post 16 Admissions Manager, Ms Burgess at the Harris Federation Office on: 020 8253 7777 
or email us at: info@harrispost16.org.uk.

The deadline for applications for September 2012 is Friday 30th March 2012.
Applications received after this date will be placed on a waiting list.

What should I do if my grades are disappointing?
Don’t worry! We may still be able to accommodate you on different courses.
This will be dealt with at enrolment.
