Results Day - help with next steps
Today is results day and we are hoping that all of the colleges have been in contact with your child to let them know what their next steps are but just in case this is what to do next.
Once students have their results they must enrol with their chosen education provider, even if they don't have the grades they need, the sixth form or college will endeavour to find a course for them. If they can't find a suitable course students will have to use their back up plan or apply to another education provider.
Don't forget if your child is in receipt of free school meals or you are a low income family students can apply for a bursary from their new education provider to help with travel and equipment costs.
Northgate Sixth Form
Northgate have informed us they have sent students information about how to enrol and will be operating a telephone booking system for students should they have any concerns on Thursday 20th and Friday 21st August. Please do let us know if you haven't heard anything.
