GET READY FOR WYKE START

TASTER EVENT for all ApPlicants with a CONDITIONAL OFFER
SAVE THE DATE  30 June - 1 July

Join us for a two-day taster event designed to showcase what makes Wyke Sixth Form College truly exceptional. As an Ofsted Outstanding college, we're excited to welcome our future students to explore their journey with us.

Every applicant will experience lessons in their selected subjects and two tutorial sessions. There will also be an opportunity to discover more about our amazing enrichment programme, explore the £30M university style campus, meet our award-winning teachers and of course make new friends.

Following Wyke Start, you will be required to go onto the Applicant Portal to confirm the 3 course choices (or equivalent) that you would like to study with us in September.

Free transport will be available across the two days, and the free lunchtime barbeque will now take place on Wednesday 1 July. If you are unable to make Tuesday 30 June due to previous commitments, don’t worry it won’t impact on our conditional offer of a place and we will look forward to seeing you on Wednesday 1 July.


TRANSPORT IS FREE FOR WYKE START

Details of how to get to Wyke are available at: Travelling to Wyke

All of the bus routes advertised on our website will be running and will be free of charge during Wyke Start.

If you cannot use the College bus routes, you can claim reimbursement for your fares during Wyke Start for any other public transport used by providing their tickets.

The buses will leave College at 4.00pm.
