SCHOOL LEAVERS

The College has committed to providing a college place to all school leavers. This is possible due to the different levels of courses available at the college. We would however reiterate that it is vital that you continue to work hard to secure the best grades possible to ensure that you enter post-16 study at a level that reflects your hard work and places you on the highest level of course available.

We can also confirm that we will once again be undertaking a face to face enrolment process as this is the best way to ensure that the right advice and guidance is provided.

The enrolment days for school leavers will be:-

Thursday 22 August 2024
Friday 23 August 2024

• Applicants will be invited into college at allocated timeslots and will be required to bring their GCSE results slip as proof of their previous school. We do accept these electronically and you can show them on your mobile phone. Applicants are encouraged to attend at their allocated timeslot to ensure appropriate time is given to all of our applicants.
• If any applicant cannot make their allotted enrolment time, you can contact us for a different time during enrolment period.
• If any applicant cannot make the enrolment period dates, we will have enrolment appointments available to book 29 August - 1 September. Full details will be provided to you in your enrolment letter which will be sent out late July.
• Applicants for apprenticeships will be supported in trying to secure an employment vacancy. We guarantee a place on a study programme at college for those applicants who do not secure employment and will continue to search for a vacancy during their first year at college.
• If you have an employer and have not yet let us know, please contact the apprenticeship team at employerengagement@wigan-leigh.ac.uk. The team will then contact you directly to arrange your apprenticeship enrolment / sign up.
• This will be an ‘appointment only’ managed process. If you haven’t applied to college, please call our friendly team on 01942 761111 or book an appointment online at https://wiganleighcollege.simplybook.it/v2/#book
  
• Advice & Support - If you have not obtained the grades required for your chosen course, please do not worry, we have a wide range of alternatives. A member of our Admissions team will discuss these with you at enrolment and help you make the best choice for your future.
