FAQs

What email address should I use to apply?

Please ensure you apply to join Ashton using an email address you check regularly. We will communicate important information such as interview appointments, key dates and deadlines to you via email. This needs to be an email you can access after you finish school as we will communicate important details with you throughout the summer regarding enrolment. Sometimes our emails can end up in junkmail boxes so please check this regularly.

When should I apply?

As we are an oversubscribed college we recommend you apply as soon as possible to secure your place. The deadline for applications is Friday 16th December 2022.

What if I apply after the deadline?

Applications submitted after the deadline are not guaranteed an interview at the college and therefore we advise you to have a firm alternative place to study for September.

What are the entry requirements?

There are four types of study programmes you can apply to study at Ashton Sixth Form College – the A-Level Programme, Mixed Study Programme (mix of A-Levels and Vocational A-Levels), a Full time Vocational Programme or a T Level programme. For each study programme there are different admissions requirements. Many courses also have further, more specific entry requirements. Please ensure that you meet the entry requirements for your chosen programme of study before applying.
