Applications for September 2026 entry

Applications to join the College in September 2026 will close at 4pm on Wednesday 22 July 2026.

If you need to contact us about applying after this date, please email us on admissions@farnborough.ac.uk

Enrolment - oversubscribed procedure

We have received an unprecedented number of applications to join us in September 2026. Committed to meeting the needs of our local community, we have been able to extend interview invitations to all ‘on-time’ applicants residing within eight miles of the College, or those moving into the local area.

We will now be following the oversubscribed procedure as outlined in our Admissions Policy.

It may still be possible to enrol with us later in the cycle

We will have a clearer picture when enrolment begins about whether we have places available for applicants from the ‘reserve pool’ (those who applied by 4pm on 20 October 2025), the ‘late reserve pool’ (those who applied by 4pm on 10 December 2025) and the ‘very late reserve pool’ (those who applied from 11 December 2025 onwards).

Any places available will be offered in the first instance to eligible ‘reserve pool’ applicants, who have completed their enrolment data entry, in distance order from the College. Please note that applicants are required to meet the minimum grade entry requirements in order to be considered. 

Once all eligible ‘reserve pool’ applicants have been offered any available places, we will move to applicants in the ‘late reserve pool’ and then the ‘very late reserve pool’ should any places remain available.

As we have previously stated, it is imperative that you keep your options open for your post-16 studies. We recommend that anyone who has applied to join us also applies to other schools and colleges to ensure you have a number of excellent choices available to you.
