The Sixth Form College Farnborough

Start of teaching 2026

We are delighed to welcome all of our students into College for the start of full time teaching this week.

Course changes for new students

Each year, a few students decide they wish to change one of their courses. To ensure swaps are successful and students do not fall behind, we follow a strict process for this:

Week1 - 17 September: No requests will be accepted. Students need to attend at least four lessons and discuss the decision with your teachers first.

Week 2 - 14 Sepember: After completing four lessons, we will accept request submissions. Students must provide a first, second, and third choice course, as some subjects will not have space available.
Attendance: Course changes take about a week to process. In the meantime, you must continue to attend all timetabled lessons.
Approvals & Entry Requirements: Parents/guardians need to approve the course change, and students can only join a subject if they meet its entry requirements.
Week 4 - 28 September: The cut off for course change requests is 2 October 2026.
Many courses have already dedicated significant time to coursework by this point, so changes cannot be delayed any further. Setting this deadline also allows transferring students to use Open Days week to complete any necessary catch-up work.
