Enrolment: Frequently Asked Questions

GCSE results will be released on Thursday 20th August, for further details on how your will receive them please contact your school.

You must contact your school before GCSE Results Day to discuss an alternative way of receiving them.

We recommend uploading your results onto the online enrolment portal the day you receive them, please make sure they are uploaded and you have confirmed your details on the pre-enrolment portal by Monday 24th August.

We begin enrolling from Monday 24th August, any steps completed after this date are considered late and could put your place in our enrolment queue at risk.

Still upload your results – if you have done better than expected or not as well as you'd hoped we will still consider your enrolment at GC. However, we may offer a more appropriate level for you to start with.

You do not need to reapply for a different level course. Our enrolment schedule is based on the date you applied, so submitting a later application would push your place further down our schedule and would be against our advice.

If you are aged 16-18 and have not achieved a Grade 4 in Maths and English you do not need to apply for this, we will add this to your timetable when you are enrolled if you are aged under 19 as of the 31st August 2026.

Our deadline to confirm your first-choice course is 31st July. If you would like to change after this date, you will need to make a new application which we strongly advise against.

Please note – we strongly advise against re-applying for another course, our enrolment schedule is based on the date you applied, so submitting a later application would push your place further down our schedule and you may put a place on course you desire to do at risk.

If you have not sat any exams and are not receiving results on Thursday 20th August and you have not already been in contact with the Admissions Team or call us on 0345 155 2020 (option 3).

If you do not have your qualifications or results, you need to contact the Admissions Team or call us on 0345 155 2020 (option 3) as soon as possible so we can talk through your options.

Enrolment Process

You will need to take a photo of your results slip or a screenshot and upload this to the My Qualifications section of your pre-enrolment portal.

We will send you the link on Thursday morning in a text message.

When uploading a photo remember:

• When uploading your qualifications please make sure you take a photo of the full page and do not cut anything out of it.

• If you are uploading multiple photos, we recommend uploading one at a time.

• Consider whether you are using Wi-Fi or Data to upload, a Data connection to upload your photo of your qualifications may be stronger.
