Application Process

The aim of this is to ensure that Nunthorpe Academy Sixth Form is the right place for you and you are studying subjects which are suitable for you and your abilities and aspirations. Once successfully completed, we will send you a formal conditional offer confirming your place. The final important step is to enrol and this is where we finalise all subject choices and decisions. This happens on GCSE results day.

Deadline for Sixth Form Applications is Thursday 21^st August - GSCE Results Day.
