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 please ensure that you complete and submit the enrolment form and upload your GCSE results to Applicaa by 3:00pm on Thursday 20th August to remain on the waiting list. As part of this process, you will need to add every GCSE subject and grade to the Education section and mark them all as “Achieved” and not "Predicted". You will also need to upload a copy of your GCSE results, which has been provided to you by your school. Please ensure that this shows your school, your name and all result outcomes clearly.
All of this must be completed on Applicaa by 3:00pm on Thursday 20th August.
If you are on the waiting list and want to swap subjects, please make these changes on the enrolment form before submitting.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD YOU BRING YOUR RESULTS INTO NSB BY HAND.
We will run our random selection process from the waiting list by Tuesday 25th August. All applicants will be informed once the waiting list has been processed, in line with our Admissions Policy, and will inform all 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 do not 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 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 GCSE 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 on Applicaa by 3:00pm on Thursday 20th August.
If you have difficulties accessing your application please email;
