Don’t worry, it’s not too late! Take a look at all our A Level courses and apply online.

We will get in touch with you to tell you the next steps. You can contact our Admissions team on 01226 216 106 for further information.

We will send you an invitation for your enrolment session at the beginning of August. You will go to the Sixth Form College to begin your enrolment session. At enrolment, you will be given the opportunity to tour the facilities and staff will be on hand to answer any questions. The whole process may take up to two hours, so please plan for this.

Here is a useful enrolment checklist.

Before you enrol check that you have done the following:

  1. Logged into your personal OnTrack account, checked your details and made any amendments.
  2. Added all your subject grades and uploaded your evidence to the Ontrack portal.

At enrolment, remember to:

  1. Check your enrolment letter to see which College campus you need to go to.
  2. Arrive at your specified time.
  3. Bring paper evidence of your GCSE grades with you.

Don’t panic! We understand that things have been very different these past few years; we will discuss all options on an individual basis and support you in making the right choices.

Have a look at the page about A Level entry requirements on the Barnsley Sixth Form College website.

If you decide that A Levels is not the right option, we have staff available to discuss other study programmes within the College including T Levels, Vocational and Apprenticeship routes.

Please call our friendly Information Team on 01226 216 123 to discuss your options.

Yes, it’s fine to change your subject choices. If you know what changes you’d like to make, simply contact our friendly Admissions Team via email interviews@barnsley.ac.uk or ring our helpline on: 01226 216 106 to swap them over.

If you’re unsure, contact our Information Team to discuss your subject combinations and how these fit in with your future plans. You may even want to do some research in advance about what subjects universities would be looking for. UCAS Explore is a good place to start your research.

We understand that your future plans may change and you might still not be sure on what career path to take.  Don’t worry we encourage applicants to keep a few options open.

If you want to change an A level subject go to question  above ‘Can I change my A Level subject choices?’

If you have decided that A Levels is not the right option and want to explore other study programmes within the College including T Levels, Vocational and Apprenticeship routes visit the Our Courses page on our website.
