External Applicants on Waiting List
Good luck with your results on Thursday 20th August, we hope that you get the grades you hope for.
If you have met both the minimum and subject specific entry requirements for the subjects you originally applied for, and still wish to do those subjects, then simply upload your results to your Applicaa application. We can then confirm that you are eligible for consideration when we run the waiting list. We would prefer you to upload a direct copy of your results statement, however if this is not possible, you can take a photo of your results statement and upload this onto your application. Please ensure that it shows your school, name and result outcomes clearly.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD YOU BRING YOUR RESULTS INTO NSB BY HAND.
The deadline for letting us know your grades is 15:00 on Thursday 20th August.
If you failed to meet the subject specific requirements in one (or more) subject(s), but did meet the minimum entry requirements, you can request to change your course choices, for alternative courses in which you did meet the subject specific entry requirements - more details to follow on how to do this via Applicaa.
We will run our random selection process from the waiting list as soon as we can after midday on Friday 21st August, in line with our Admissions Policy, and will inform successful students through Applicaa. Any further places that become available after GCSE results day will be allocated as promptly as we can, so do not give up if you don’t get a place in the next round of offers. This may happen across or after the Bank Holiday weekend, so please be patient and do not message us via email or Applicaa to find out if it has been run. You will receive a message via Applicaa whether you are successful or not to indicate that the Waiting List has been run.
If you will be away on holiday when the grades are released, I would strongly advise you make arrangements for someone else to act on your behalf to ensure that your grades are uploaded. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD YOU BRING YOUR RESULTS INTO NSB BY HAND.
