Joining Itchen Sixth Form College this September? We’re looking forward to welcoming you.
If you’ve received your GCSE results and are joining us at Itchen, your next step is enrolment.
Enrolment is your opportunity to confirm your course choices, provide your results and speak to our specialist staff about your next steps.
Enrolment takes place from 20–26 August 2026 and is face-to-face at Itchen Sixth Form College.
Whether your results are exactly what you hoped for or you’re not quite sure what comes next, our team is here to support you.
What happens at enrolment?
When you arrive at Itchen, a member of our team will meet you and guide you through the enrolment process.
During your appointment, you’ll receive personal advice and guidance from specialist staff to help you make sensible course decisions and choose the right programme for you.
Please allow up to 90 minutes for your enrolment appointment.
There’s no need to worry if you’re unsure about anything. We’ll carefully guide you through each stage of the process.
Don’t forget your exam results
Please bring ALL of your exam results slips and/or certificates with you to your enrolment appointment.
We need to see your results before you can complete enrolment.
Make sure you bring any documentation you have received from your school or exam centre.
You will not be able to complete enrolment until we have seen all of your exam results.

Depending on your circumstances, you may also need to bring:
Photographic ID

What if I didn’t get the results I hoped for?
Don’t panic – we’re here to help.
If your results aren’t what you expected, it doesn’t necessarily mean your plans have to change completely.
