What Happens Next?

All appli­cants await­ing GCSE results will be giv­en a con­di­tion­al offer of a place at Stam­ford Col­lege. Dur­ing enrol­ment, we will review each appli­ca­tion on a case-by-case basis, and exten­u­at­ing cir­cum­stances will be con­sid­ered should you not meet the entry require­ments of your cho­sen course.

Our place promise means that what­ev­er your grades, please be assured there will always be a place at Stam­ford Col­lege for those who want to work hard and achieve their goals.

For all oth­er cours­es (i.e. those that do not require a Per­son­al State­ment or Inter­view), if you are giv­en a con­di­tion­al offer, you will be invit­ed to a ​‘Meet the Tutor’ event. We invite all appli­cants, so it’s a great chance to meet oth­ers that have applied to your course. You will meet your tutor, who will tell you more about what you will study, the work expe­ri­ence you will under­take, the trips and vis­its you will go on, the uni­form or kit you might need and oth­er Col­lege activ­i­ties you can get involved in.

Fri­day 30^th June 2023

You will be invit­ed to attend our Taster day which is a full-day expe­ri­ence to sup­port your tran­si­tion from school to Col­lege. It’s a great oppor­tu­ni­ty to meet new stu­dents, try out your bus route and spend a day with us explor­ing Col­lege life.

Some cours­es require you to com­plete a sum­mer assign­ment before you start your course. It is impor­tant you take care to com­plete this as instruct­ed as it may impact your enrol­ment on to the course.

We have put togeth­er 5 sim­ple steps that you’ll need to take to enrol on to your cho­sen course, if at any time you have any issues with these you are able to con­tact the enrol­ment team on MIS@​IEG.​ac.​uk.

We rec­om­mend you apply with an email address that you reg­u­lar­ly check and have access to (not a school one) and ensure all details are accu­rate (spelling, phone num­bers etc) as we will com­mu­ni­cate through email and phone if there are any updates or prob­lems with your application.

Step 1- You will have received your ​‘Appli­ca­tion Con­fir­ma­tion’ and ​‘Offer’ via email. Please ensure you have ​‘Accept­ed’ your Place.

Step 2- In the sum­mer, you will receive an email invit­ing you to com­plete the online pre-enrol­ment process.

Step 3- You will then be pro­vid­ed with the day and time you need to come in to Col­lege to enrol. 

This will be from Thu 24 Aug to Fri 1 Sep 2023 depend­ing on which day your course is allo­cat­ed to enrol. You must ensure you bring evi­dence of your grades / qual­i­fi­ca­tions to this appointment.

If you have not got the qrades / qual­i­fi­ca­tions you need, try not to wor­ry, we are very expe­ri­enced in ensur­ing you are placed on the right course and a Course Tutor will be avail­able to dis­cuss this with you.

Step 4- Once you have com­plet­ed your enrol­ment, you will be giv­en your offi­cial stu­dent ID badge, course timetable and details of what will hap­pen on your first day.

Step 5- Attend your first day.

A con­di­tion­al offer is where upon review­ing your appli­ca­tion, we pro­vide you with a place at the Col­lege in Sep­tem­ber on the con­di­tion that you meet cer­tain standards.
