The Application Process

If you are a student in Year 11 at Macmillan Academy, information on how to apply will be provided to you during registration time. In the meantime, if you have any questions, please contact us.

If you are a student in Year 11 from another school, you can apply in two ways:

1. Via our website (see link below)
2. If you wish to apply in writing, there is an application form in our course guide. Please ask your careers adviser at school, or alternatively you can request a copy from Post 16

If you have not heard from us within a week of submitting your application, please contact us.

You do not have to live in a catchment area to study at Post 16. There is no admissions test and there is no maximum number of students we can take. If we think you will do well in Post 16, and you have the required grades, you will get a place.

COVID-19

Things have been very different at the academy over the past few months. We have worked very hard to put as many things as possible in place so that students and staff felt safe when they all returned. We have had an amazing start to the term; our average attendance for the first 2 weeks was 95% which is well above the national average.

If you would like to find out more about what we put in place to make ourselves as COVID-19 safe as possible then please have a look at this video that we created before welcoming all of our students back to the academy in September.

Dress Code

There is a dress code in Post 16 for all students.

Food and Drink

We operate a cashless system in the academy. Parents are able to top up their son/daughter’s biometric finger account via Schoolgateway. Post 16 students have their own dedicated café – Baristas.

16-19 Bursary Fund:

We are able to provide assistance to those students most in need of financial help through the 16-19 Bursary Fund. Below are some of the ways in which we have assisted students in Post 16:

• Help with food costs
• Help with transport
• Help with books, stationery and equipment
• Trips to university open days, higher education events and other activities that we feel are relevant to a student’s progress in Post 16.

The application process is simple, quick and confidential. If we can help you, we will. Please contact us for more information.
