       and support

• Year 11 students – not yet applied
             Reaseheath College are still accepting applications. All interviews will be done via telephone
             by lecturing staff (numbers will show up as ‘withheld’ on your phone). Places will be offered
             based on predicted grades until final grades are received (this has always been the case).
             Where final grades are different, the College will discuss the options with students to see
             whether another course or level is appropriate instead.
             Apply online: https://www.reaseheath.ac.uk/fe-full-time-application-form/
