Enrolment

Our enrolment process begins on-site from Friday 22 August 2025.

If you have accepted a conditional offer with us, you will  shortly receive an invitation by email to make an appointment for enrolment on either Friday 22 August or Tuesday 26 August.

If you are unable to attend your slot then please get in touch and we can re-arrange this for you.

The Bedford Sixth Form is on Bromham Road in Bedford, only a short walk from the bus station. The postcode is MK40 2BS. Parking on-site is limited, but there are several public car parks close by.

• When you arrive, please enter via the main reception
• You will be directed through to the Grand Hall to meet with an enrolment tutor
• When you have finished, you will leave via the student entrance at the opposite end of the building.

You will meet with an enrolment tutor who will check through your GCSE grades and discuss with you the subjects that you have chosen.

Once they are happy that you have selected an appropriate programme, and confirmed that the subject choices can be taken as a combination, they will complete an enrolment form with you.
