Setting you up for success
We invest time in setting all our students up for academic success, which begins at enrolment. To help you get ready for this, we have outlined the steps you need to take once you have received your GCSE results as well as some important information about your enrolment appointment. Please read through this carefully.
GCSE Results Day
Step one of enrolment involves you securing your place at Sir John Deane’s.
On GCSE results day, Thursday 20th August, you must submit your GCSE results via the college’s online platform, Applicaa, no later than 1.00pm. You will need to upload a PDF, a scan or a clear photograph of your results slip taken on your phone. This should be an official document with your name and have the school name or logo clearly visible. If we don’t receive your results by this time, your place at the college will be at risk.
All applicants should have received a login to Applicaa and completed a pre-results check to ensure they are familiar with the portal before GCSE results day.
Your Enrolment Appointment
Step two of enrolment will take place after GCSE results day. You will receive your enrolment appointment by the end of Saturday 22nd August. We enrol over a three-day period so that all families have the time and space to comfortably consider options. You will be given a face-to-face enrolment appointment on one of the following days:
Monday 24th August
Tuesday 25th August
Wednesday 26th August
You must be available to come into college on one of these dates to enrol in person, unless alternative arrangements have been made.
Parents are actively encouraged to attend enrolment, as we recognise they play a vital role in the success of students. During your enrolment appointment, you will meet with teachers to discuss your subject choices and finalise a programme of study that will set you up for academic success. The college will look at a range of factors in helping to decide your final programme, including average GCSE points score, individual GCSE performance and your overall grade profile.
Three very important things you need for enrolment are:
- £67 contribution fee which covers your two years at Sir John Deane’s (payable by cash or card)
- Proof of identity (preferably your passport, alternatively your birth certificate)
- If you received access arrangements at your previous school or have additional learning needs, please bring evidence that supports this to enrolment. You will have the opportunity to discuss your support needs. Please also let us know if you require any reasonable adjustments for the enrolment process.
