What do I need to do? Due to the success of last years online enrolment process, we will be running enrolment online again this year. At the start of the summer holidays you will be emailed a ‘how to’ guide with all the information you need about online enrolment and the process you need to follow. Once you receive your results on 12th August, you will need to upload them to your online admissions account. We ask that as soon as you receive your results you upload them to your portal so we are able to start processing your enrolment paperwork and secure your place. Failure to upload your results on 12th August may mean we are unable to offer you a place in September.
