PETER SYMONDS COLLEGE | HOW TO APPLY (2010 ENTRY)

HOW TO APPLY

We consider applications from all suitable students provided we have an appropriate course for them. We use criteria set out in our admissions policy when making offers, and this mainly favours local applicants and those from our partner schools.

Due to the large numbers of students applying, we are no longer able to offer an interview to every applicant. We will concentrate in the first instance on those applicants who best fit the entry criteria as set out in our Admissions Policy. A full copy of our Admissions Policy is available from the Admissions Office or via this site.

If you have any questions on our application process, please contact the Admissions team who will be happy to help you.
