Applications for September 2025 admission to The Sixth Form Bolton are now closed. However, you are welcome to submit a late application. Please read the late application criteria below before submitting your application. If you need further advice, please contact: admissions@bolton-sfc.ac.uk
Late Applications
Any application received by the college after the application deadline of 12 noon on Friday 31 January 2025 will be considered a late application and will be placed on a waiting list and only contacted should a place become available.
All applicants who submit a late application will be placed on the waiting list.
Students placed on the waiting list will only be invited to interview at the Principal’s discretion and only if a place becomes available.
Consideration will be given to all aspects of the late application form including date of application, as well as places available on requested subjects before an interview can be arranged. Any exceptional circumstances should be included in the application form.
Priority is given to current year 11 students who are moving in to the borough of Bolton with their parents/carers.
The college may be over-subscribed and therefore cannot guarantee that an interview and/or offer will take place.
Late applicants will not hear from the college unless a place is available.
Education, Health Care Plans (EHCPs)
If you have an EHCP, please ensure you apply as early as possible (usually between October and 31 December): this will enable us to provide a supportive transition that is in line with your needs and a detailed support plan can be put in place for you.
Further information can be requested from the Admissions team.
