Once you have submitted your application form, you will receive a letter confirming that your application has been received and that a place has been guaranteed for you. This is a conditional offer based on you obtaining the required grades to undertake the course you wish to study, eg. 2 Bs and 4Cs to undertake an A-level programme.

You will then be invited for your first of three interviews at the College between March and April.  The first interview is an informal consultation to discuss your application and the subjects you wish to take. 

The second interview is part of the Palmer's Day One event held in July, where over 1000 students who have applied to Palmer's College are invited to hear about the courses they wish to take or are interested in taking, tour round the College, meet their personal tutor and fellow students as well as meet the Principal.  The afternoon consists of new students being informally interviewed by their personal tutors.

The final interview takes place after you have had your GCSE results and forms part of the enrolment process in September.  Here, we will discuss whether the results you obtained will enable you to undertake the programme of study you wish to take or if you wish to study a different A-level subject/BTEC course, then this is your chance to tell us. 

However, if your grades do not meet the entry criteria, the College will endeavour to put you on the right course at the right level.
