Sixth Form Admissions Process
The online application window for September 2025 opened on 1st October, 2024 closing on Monday 2nd December, 2024.
All those applying by the closing date will be offered an interview during which we can discuss your chosen course and your application in general. These will take place from November 2024 onwards.
The interview will be on a one-to-one basis and will be conducted online via Microsoft Teams. Further information about this will be provided before your interview.
Offers will be made once we have interviewed all students who have applied by our closing date. Places are conditional on receipt of a suitable school reference.
If applying after 2nd December 2024, the system remains live and students will be able to complete and submit an application via the 'Create Application' tab in the menu. However, such late applications must be accompanied by an email (from the student) to explain the reasons for the late submission. The email should be sent to Admissions@holycross.ac.uk. Without the accompanying email, all late applications will be placed on a Waiting List. Where there is felt to be good reasons for the late submission the offer of an interview may be made but this will, in part, be determined by the demand for places for September 2025.
Before you start college life at Holy Cross you will have completed our applications process managed by the Admissions Team. The Admissions Team will oversee the following key stages:
- the online application
- your interview
- your formal offer
- and your enrolment to college
When you apply, you will create an 'application portal' through which future communications will be managed.
The e-mail address and password you use for this will be very important, please keep these safe.
Ideally we would like you to use a personal e-mail address rather than your school one as you will need access to this through to September 2025.
