Welcome Day
Once you have accepted your place at Priestley you will be invited to attend Welcome Day which takes place on Wednesday 4 July. Here you will be able to sample some of the subjects you are considering taking in September and meet some of your teachers and other students who are planning to join us.

Choices Day
After you have received your GCSE results there is one final opportunity to discuss your programme at Priestley. This is on Tuesday 28 August. Here subject teachers and Connexions Advisers will be on hand to take you through those nagging
last minute questions.

Enrolment
Starts on Wednesday 29 through to Friday 31 August. This is when you will sign up for your programme of study at Priestley and agree your final subject and/or course combinations. If you plan to be away at this time it is essential that you let us know before Welcome Day so that we can put alternative arrangements in place for you.

Term Starts
Your first day at Priestley will be Friday 7 September starting at 8.45am. It may seem a long way off now, but there is a lot to crowd in between now and then. Make sure you keep in touch right the way through this crucial time. If you have any questions please contact our Admissions Hotline on 01925 415415 or email admissions@priestley.ac.uk
