My school/college is not attending. Can I still book on?
Yes, if you are a student in your first year (or repeating your first year) of sixth form or college and you know your school/college is not bringing a group of students, you can fill in the form as an individual student.
Can I book on individually if my school and college are already attending the day?
No; if your school or college is already attending the day you would need to contact the teacher who is leading the event to state your interest. We can let you know who that teacher is if you are not sure.
Do I need to get permission to attend?
Yes. Once we have confirmed you have a place you will be required to have a parent/carer and teacher to fill in permission forms.
Do I need to book my own travel for the day?
You will need to book your own travel to and from the event and our team of Student Ambassadors will be available to meet you at the nearest bus stop to our campus. Our campuses are well connected by public transport. A travel bursary will be paid to you if you are:
- currently eligible for the free school meals or 6th form bursary
- currently live in local authority care, or have lived in care
- are a young carer (are under 18 and help to look after a relative with a disability, illness, mental health condition, or drug or alcohol problem)
- are of black or minority ethnic origin
- have official refugee status in the UK, or are an asylum seeker

Will lunch be provided on the day?
Unfortunately we are unable to provide lunch during this event and would encourage you to bring a packed lunch on the day. If this is not possible, there are a number of food outlets where lunch can be purchased and our staff will be able to help you locate these.
