To be accepted for admission to the Sixth Form (to begin A Level courses), all students must meet the following criteria:
- Level of educational attainment equivalent to at least five passes at GCSE/O level or equivalent
- Level of English Language at IELTS level 5 (minimum) or equivalent
- Satisfactory reports from the current or previous school
- Interview with the Principal/Deputy Principal (face-to-face, Teams/Google meet))
- Completed Registration Form signed by the fee-payer
Additionally, the UK Visas and Immigration rules require that the following documents be provided to support applications from international students who come from outside the European Union:
- Proof of identity (photocopy of passport)
- Proof of educational attainment (diplomas, certificates etc)
- Proof of English Language level (IELTS diploma or equivalent)
- Payment in advance of the Registration Fee (£640) and at least the first term’s fees (a discount of 5% is offered for payment in advance of the full year’s fees)
Students will make the application with the help of a Collingham appointed Immigration solicitor who will oversee the process. Once all the criteria have been met, Collingham will issue a Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies through the UKVI website. This will enable students to apply for a Tier 4 (student) Visa.
