We are able to offer to the vast majority of applicants who apply to us by the deadline. In recent years, we have been oversubscribed and have operated a waitlist, but if you get your application in on time this will give you the best chance of securing an offer. More detail can be found in our admissions policy.

Where two applications are registered, we will action the one with the earliest time/date unless you advise us otherwise.

No, we welcome a large number of students from around the city and beyond each year. If you join us as an external student, you are in good company. - Will I be able to change my course choices after sending the application? Yes! We build in plenty of opportunities for this, including your application discussion meeting where you will have a guidance conversation with an experienced member of our Post 16 team.

Firstly, don't worry too much, You have plenty of time and can change your mind along the way. Attend one of our open events if you can, as well as making use of the subject films on the NBP16 website. It's also useful to speak to your current teachers and review your latest progress reports / predicted grades against our entry criteria.

There is loads of information on our website, including a short film which will give you a good feel of life at NBP16.
